S2:E3 - Amal Masri & Amreen Rahman | Things I Wish I Could Have Told My Younger Self Count Me Too

- Careers
Hello and thanks for stopping by! As I have taken a career break to pursue my personal goals and passions, I am also taking a break from podcasting (but most certainly will be resuming once I'm back!). In the meantime, I wanted to change things up a bit and have a special episode that is more of a one on one chat rather than the interview format you are familiar with.
I had the pleasure of hosting Amal Masri, a communications executive, social entrepreneur and the founder of #fixthebrokenrung movement. She is passionate about elevating women of colour into leadership roles, especially highlighting the fact that getting that first manager opportunity is incredibly challenging for BIPOC women, which sets off a domino effect of decreased representation across all leadership levels.
Amal and I have a lot in common. We are both first generation immigrants, racialized women, McGill alumni with diverse experiences and backgrounds yet similar challenges in breaking stereotypes and perceptions about who we are and what we can do. In this episode, Amal and I have a candid chat about what we wish we had known as young women entering industry, and lessons learned from our own unique career trajectories.
