Listen in as Nassem Qader takes us on a profound journey from the colorful streets of Hyderabad, India, to the snowy paths of Utah, where being a novelty wasn't just a status—it was a daily reality. Growing up with a mother who shoveled snow in a sari and a family that turned heads, Nassem navigated isolation and stood out everywhere, from classrooms to corporate boardrooms. Today, as an advocate for women of color in leadership and a strategist for multicultural markets, Nassem is not just adapting but embracing her unique brand. "I’m still becoming," she says, transforming her experiences into a relentless pursuit of self-discovery and influence. Tune in for a story of identity, resilience, and the pride of voting as citizens, told with a blend of wisdom and reflection. Nassem’s toolbag? Do something unreasonable every day. Naseem's advice? Keep volunteering—because changing the world starts with challenging ourselves.
