Many got to meet you but few know your story and why you’re here. So tell us abit about yourselves and What your purpose in Seychelles is.
I'm a social entrepreneur and International NGO consultant from Kurdistan of Iraq, I started my career when I was only 17, and fortunately I have been able to build a strong career in the world of development and especially youth empowerment, I was invited as international speaker for the Youth Festival, to speak about the importance of the 2030 Agenda, during the first conference in Seychelles on the SDGs. 

​Explain to us your work with youth and why you commit yourself with such work.
I see my work as a way to pay back to life and my community, I have had access to many unique opportunities myself compared to what other youth from middle class and middle lower class families could have access to, and as a result I became the strong woman I am today, so my work is basically for me to pass it around and help other youth have access to the same opportunities I had access to.
