Maryam was the keynote speaker for our leadership masterclass in Spring 2024 and her talk was truly the highlight of our event. Her message deeply resonated with our participants, many of them calling it their favourite session of the week. Her ability to connect with an audience is truly remarkable, and we are so grateful she made the time to join us.

Non-profit agencies are often challenged with limited resources and require effective advocacy strategies to meet demands. Maryam attended Leading Ladies, a cohort of non-profit women leaders. Maryam provided an interactive talk around advocacy and built so much confidence in the group. Confidence is one of the biggest barrier’s many women face in leadership roles. Maryam reminded us of our voice and ways that we can tell our story to make effective gains in our missions. Maryam was kind, informative and above all an inspiration. Women supporting women builds the foundation to better success!
