Advisor
Being an adviser to any member
of the government means working tirelessly in the shadows. Not an obvious task for someone who has already
experienced the spotlight. But for Hind Chahboun, an actress, fulfilling this mission with a Minister
of Culture was an experience that could not be missed: "It had been more
than a year that I worked in Lebanon for television. When I went to Morocco, a friend of mine asked
me for my résumé. I then met with Minister Mohammed Amine Sbihi who asked me if
I would be interested in joining his ministerial cabinet”, says Hind Chahboun. The task requires rigor and endurance, because
of the steady rhythm, but this athlete does not lack energy. Karate, full-contact, motocross: she always
likes to practice extreme sports. The challenges are: "The ministry was in
the process of introducing a new cultural policy and the minister gave the
sector a new breath. I was in
charge of several matters: the establishment of the creative industries, the
conservation and enhancement of tangible and intangible heritage, the
development of a new grant mechanism based on calls for projects for
publishing, theater , music, and the visual arts. Working alongside Mohammed Amine Sbihi was very
enriching, he is a great gentleman”, says Hind. Being the only daughter of her
parents, Hind Chahboun was born in Taza where she got her junior high school
degree. She grew up with her mother and grandmother: "My grandmother's
death on February 05, 2015, changed my life. (As is customary in the Muslim religion) I washed
her body in the company of the washers. I still have not grieved”. Today, Hind Chahboun
looks nostalgically at the theater years:" My career has taken a whole
different turn but being on stage or in front of the camera is what excites me
the most”, says Hind Chahboun who is very active and loves to travel and
advertise Morocco and its
culture worldwide. Although
Hind did not get yet the role of which she dreams, she remains confident:
"It will come! "
