E14: Resilience Beyond Borders: An Extraordinary Journey - Refugee to Lawyer to CEO | Donna Sherwani

In this new episode we delve into the extraordinary journey of a remarkable Kurdish refugee Donna Sherwani who crossed the Indian Ocean with her family in a fishing boat in the hopes of seeking a better life in Australia.  Donna's life began in the shadow of adversity, as her family fled the brutal "Anfal" ethnic-cleansing campaign in the late 1980s, during one of the darkest chapters in Kurdish history. Arriving in Australia as a teenager, Donna embarked on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. She not only redefined her name but also her destiny. She is a refugee advocate, a lawyer, a teacher, an aspiring writer, an entrepreneur and a CEO.  In our episode, we will delve into Donna's path from being a refugee to Lawyer, as she continues to seek opportunities to change the narrative on racial discrimination in local and international policies. She is also using her work to create a positive impact in society by using fashion as her tool to promote social justice and empower the next generation by creating cruelty free, vegan, ethical and sustainable designer bags.  Donna will also share the surprising similarities between Korean and Kurdish cultures and her love story that spanned continents. Join us for a heartwarming and thought-provoking conversation with Donna Sherwani, a true embodiment of resilience and the power of love in transcending borders. ----------------- Episode Chapters --------------------------- 0:00 - Intro 02:18 - Who are you? and what mission are you on? 05:37 - Earlier years 10:56 - Education 21:31 - Career 1:29:35 - Kind Rebel/Podcast/Book/Kid’s Art Collection 1:48:45 - Relationship 2:13:00 - Health 2:20:05 - Future plans 2:21:30 - Podcast tradition 2:32:16 - Closing positive message Follow Donna: Donna's personal IG account: https://www.instagram.com/kind_rebel/ [https://www.instagram.com/kind_rebel/]  Shér & Seo's IG account: https://www.instagram.com/sherseo_official/ [https://www.instagram.com/sherseo_official/]  Donna's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%92%ABdonna-sherwani-271476139/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%92%ABdonna-sherwani-271476139/]    Follow our social channel: Instagram: (@lananesredin) https://bit.ly/3NVv6bh [https://bit.ly/3NVv6bh]  #RefugeeStories #KurdishHistory #ImmigrantJourney #Resilience #RacialDiscrimination #SocialJustice #Empowerment #HumanRights #InspiringStories #CrueltyFreeFashion #SustainableFashion #EthicalBrands #Entrepreneurship #LoveStory #CulturalDiversity #CrossingBorders #RefugeeAdvocate #EmpoweringYouth #PositiveImpact #TranscendingAdversity #Lawyer #CEO #Founder #Artist #success #motivation #inspiration #goals #dreams #achievement #mindset #selfimprovement #focus #determination #leadership #selfdevelopment #personaldevelopment #growth #ambition #entrepreneur #hardwork #wisdom #believeinyourself #inspire #extraordinary #achievement #liveyourbestlife #podcast
