Born and raised in Bangladesh, my passion for improving the lives of women began at a very young age. I spent much of my childhood accompanying my grandmother to her workplace in Dhaka, where she provided rehabilitation services to women and children. Though I didn’t fully grasp the significance of her work back then, I was deeply moved by her dedication and tireless efforts. One of my earliest memories involves a woman and her two daughters who, grateful for my grandmother’s support in educating them and helping them find employment, brought her home-cooked food as a token of their appreciation.

During my undergraduate studies in Dhaka, I often felt disconnected from courses on business and finance. However, topics related to social impact, gender equality, and women's empowerment piqued my interest and curiosity. This passion led to my first job at a development organization in Bangladesh focused on improving the livelihoods of women involved in agricultural value chains and handicrafts. Over the past 13 years, I have dedicated my career to supporting women's empowerment and addressing climate change across Asia, Africa, and North America. Both of these topics are extremely important in today’s world and our future generations.

Every woman I have met, whether in a hair salon in Toronto or a village in Asia, has shared a story of resilience and strength that inspires and motivates me. Since moving to Canada, I have faced my own transitions and life challenges, teaching me invaluable lessons beyond my undergraduate and graduate education. Completing the Soul Coach training and certification in 2022 was a transformative experience, allowing me to connect with myself and discover my life’s purpose. This training taught me that we all have the power within us to create a life we want with authenticity and the importance of our relationship with our own soul. As I have gone through many transitions in life, I am determined to support other women in their journeys and share their stories to open up a world of authentic learning and growth.

Looking ahead, my goal is to continue this mission, creating platforms for women to share their stories and empower each other. By fostering a global community of resilient and empowered women, I hope to contribute to a more equitable and compassionate world.
