Book 5 // Yasmeen Fatimah and Contrasts that Shape Me

Chapters Of My Life Podcast

„One thing I noticed, most of them do not have any goals or expectations from their lives when they are young“ - Yasmeen Fatimah founder of Foundation for Equal Citizenship I had the pleasure to speak with Yasmeen Fatimah founder of Foundation for Equal Citizenship while she was in a short stay in Dubai. I have worked with Yasmeen last year in a Pashmina Scarf Project to empower underprivileged workers in India. Every time I met her, I feel that energy to empower minorities and underprivileged people and give them a voice. Yasmeen worked in Silicon Valley during the IT 2000er booming years at Intel, Visa and EMC as Software Engineer and Project Manager among others, but one area she couldn’t let of is trying to bridge the gap between inequality in living conditions or even basic human rights. Social justice has always been the main focus area throughout her career but also her own projects. With being as she said a nomad, she kept travelling between India and USA, between her Career in Silicon Valley and building social justice while bridging the gap with low-income workers in India as well as empowering young people to dream again. —————————————————- CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE PODCAST BOOK TITLE Contrasts that Shape Me CHAPTERS 1 Being Minority 2 Uncertainties in Life 3 Living in Silicon Valley 4 Social Change?

Right, where should I start? Imagine you need to write your life story in form of a book already. It’s a challenge itself and frankly, not everyone has thought of this, as we always think when we get older we should write about our life. But in fact, we have so many experience ready to share with others, achievements, failures to learn from, positive and negative life transitions which in the end lead to the person we are today. This "Chapters Of My Life Podcast" is an inspiring collection of life transitions packed into a podcast audiobook format capturing the willpower and belief of people during important life-changing decisions. We interview innovators, athletes, entrepreneurs and idealists give an insight into their past life from a young age till today and (future untold plans) covering topics around sports, entrepreneurship, mindfulness, travel, nutrition, spirituality, yoga & meditation and more - everything which leads to the person they are today.
