The Host Samia Jamai
I’m Samia Jamai, a diversity and inclusion strategist, researcher, and founder of Sawa Journey. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with global organizations and communities, witnessing how women across cultures often face similar barriers to leadership.
This journey inspired my Ph.D. research, where I explored how school, family, and society condition women’s behaviors, ambitions, and voices.
Through SawaTalks, I’m creating a space to name these patterns, explore how they appear across cultures, and highlight the creative and resilient ways women rise above them with unexpected wisdom.
