I had the privilege of sitting down with Farah to discuss profound topics such as struggling with the identity of growing up as a British Muslim, overcoming generational trauma, and how business gave Farah the freedom to live her life and bring change! Farah went from being told she couldn’t do anything to cleaning tables because that’s all she thought she could do to connecting with like-minded people and giving talks at women’s conferences, hosting events, keynotes, institutions and local communities. It's all about a CAN DO attitude!
