Description

Deena Shakir always optimized her career for impact — though she could have never imagined that it would land her in venture capital. After a brief career in journalism, Deena served as a Presidential Management Fellow at the U.S. State Department under Secretary Clinton. Listen to Deena’s unconventional (though very logical) journey from D.C., to Google.org, to a partner at LUX Capital where she invests in health tech startups today.

Hi! I am Layla Shaikley (@laylool), I co-founded a tech company and I am also visibly Muslim. So, my identity has been front and center throughout my life and career. I have lived a lifetime of reclaiming my narrative. This is my podcast where I will interview fellow Muslim guests with interesting career paths reclaiming theirs too. I'll share insights on my journey throughout the way. Listen if you want career inspo, life inspo, or just to know what’s up. https://www.instagram.com/laylool/ https://www.tiktok.com/@laylool https://www.instagram.com/muslimsdoingthings/ Views are my own
