Our guest on this episode is Hali Farah, a Senior HR Consultant for the City of Toronto, leading the Diversity and Next Generation Programs.

Hali shares her story from her upbringing as a young Somali-Canadian kid growing up in Hamilton to graduating with a psychology degree and somehow becoming a pharmacy technician to finally ending up in as an HR professional.

She also discusses where her true passion truly lies which is in giving back to Black Youths, especially to the youths from the Somali community who over the years have had such a bad reputation.

Hali closes off by talking about her philosophy to lead with compassion and that she is cognizant of how her behaviour and leadership style will impact others. She is governed by the old saying : “treat others how you want to be treated, not how they treat you”.
