Description

In this episode, join me as I sit down with Raha Francis, a business and legal strategist turned consultant. But we're not diving into the typical professional journey today. Instead, we explore the depths of what it means to be human beyond our careers and how our "emotional identities" are influenced by the cultures we grow up in. Raha's story begins in Dubai, where she was born to South Asian parents. However, her family immigrated to Canada when she was just a child, shaping her unique perspective on life. We talk about how we reconcile our "emotional identities" and uncover common ground and how we can bridge the gap between generations and cultures to foster empathy, understanding, and mutual respect.
