Our Guest Is introduces us to a resilient group of people typically grouped together under the term immigrants, but perhaps better described as entrepreneurs, community builders, and survivors.

On today’s episode, we meet Rany Ibrahim, director of Economic Development and Trade for the Government of Nova Scotia. He tells us about coming to Canada as a student, his decision to live as a “cosmopolitan Canadian,” and why he decided to stay in Halifax even after most of his friends chose to leave.
