Hisani graduated from Seton Hall University with a BS in Political Science and afterwards moved to New York where she worked at Dance Theater of Harlem and wrote and co-produced two more musicals.

(N.Y.C.).   Her documentary, The Vanishing Black Male, has been seen in film festivals around the country and won the Broader Vision award from the Garden State film festival.  

In 2003 she founded and operated a membership based organization called NJ Movie Maker’s Network which was a service organization for independent filmmakers. The organization held monthly workshops in Newark on various topics in filmmaking with guest speakers that included  writer/educator Richard Wesley, actor Michael B. Jordan, Clarence Ali who was one of the founders of the first cable company in Newark and a host of others.
