Hama speaker at UIC University of Chicago
Reflecting on the incredible experience of being a speaker at the UIC fundraising event, I had the privilege of championing a cause incredibly close to my heart. As a humanitarian, feminist, and fashion entrepreneur with over a decade of dedication to working alongside refugees, I was honored to share my extraordinary journey.
The room was electric with energy as the audience cheered, and the moments of pause were filled with admiration and engaging interactions. It reaffirmed my belief that one person can indeed change the world. I shared how I transformed a narrative from a refugee camp into a story of gracing red carpets and adorning Royalty.
This opportunity has strengthened my resolve to continue making a positive impact. As I reflect on this experience, I want to extend my profile as a speaker for your future projects. Together, let's be the change and make a difference! 🌟
