Life Book 5 // Yasmeen Fatimah and “Contrasts that Shape Me”

„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 enjoyed speaking with Yasmeen Fatimah, founder of Foundation for Equal Citizenship, while she was in a short stay in Dubai. I 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 enables minorities and disadvantaged people and gives them a voice. During the IT 2000er booming years at Intel, Visa and EMC as Software Engineer and Project Manager, Yasmeen worked in Silicon Valley, among others. Still, she couldn’t let one area bridge the gap between inequality in living conditions or even fundamental human rights. Social justice has always been the main focus area throughout her career but also her projects. As she said, she kept traveling between India and the USA, between her Career in Silicon Valley and building social justice while bridging the gap with low-income workers in India and empowering young people to dream again.
