- Aysha Harun's YouTube career started when she was 15
Aysha Harun (@ayshaharun) is a beauty and lifestyle content creator whose journey began at 15 with her eponymous YouTube channel. Aysha filled a gap in the Black, women of color, hijabi, and Muslim spaces -- all of which were underserved at the time. Nearly 500k YouTube subscribes and 260k Instagram follows later, Aysha’s content has attracted a community that seeks to keep up with her and emulate her lifestyle. Listen to Aysha chat about her journey, the business behind influence, and the changing tide that has shifted towards inclusivity in social media.

Dr. Reshmaan Hussam went to MIT for undergrad and grad school to study economics. As a developmental economist, she found herself as Harvard Business School’s first (a pretty confident assumption) hijabi professor. TL;DR -- her goal is to ensure some of the world's future business leaders are well versed in some of the world's greatest injustices. And other stuff. She sits at the intersection of development, behavioral, and health economics.
Listen to Reshma talk about her journey, and how she found herself writing case studies for business school students about Rohingya.

- Dr Marzyeh Ghassemi is not your average MIT professor
Dr. Marzyeh Ghassemi will soon be part of MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and its Institute for Medical Engineering and Science faculty. And she is quick to call out the lack of representation in the data we collect to build products and services across industries. Including for women, who are not a minority -- but an often ignored majority. Currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in Computer Science and Medicine and a Vector Institute faculty member holding a Canadian CIFAR AI Chair and Canada Research Chair, Marzyeh has no shortage of accolades or degrees. She is an Oxford alum, as a Marshall Scholar. She also has 3 kids. About Marzyeh Marzyeh’s plug, Muslims in Machine Learning Marzyeh's other plug, apply to MIT!
