Nabela Noor Makes History as First South Asian Woman to Host a Lifestyle Series on a Major Streamer

For South Asian Americans who have long waited to see themselves reflected in mainstream lifestyle programming, a milestone moment is arriving this May. Nabela Noor, a Bangladeshi American creator and entrepreneur with over 12 million followers across platforms, is set to become the first South Asian to host a lifestyle series for a major streamer or network with “Hosted by Nabela Noor” on Tubi.

The series, announced via Variety, will drop all episodes on May 20. Each 30-minute episode is set in Noor’s home, where she entertains guests including family members and fellow creators like Avery Woods.

A Family Affair With Bangladeshi Roots

What makes the series even more meaningful is that it is a family collaboration. Episodes are directed by Noor’s sister, Neharika Noor — a detail that underscores the family bonds at the heart of the project.

Born August 4, 1991, in New York to Bangladeshi immigrant parents, Nabela Noor’s path from a daughter of immigrants to a nationally visible creator and entrepreneur is a story that resonates deeply within the South Asian diaspora. Her full name is Nabela Noor Martin, and she is now based in Pennsylvania, with roots tracing back to Bangladesh.
