Laila Omar at Oxfam UofT's "What She Knows Matters"

3/21/2019

 
Neda here! Laila Omar (@LailaMOmar) made our team very proud in a solo presentation at last Friday's "What She Knows Matters" event sponsored by Oxfam UofT. Laila was one of three invited speakers at the Centre for Social Innovation and in her remarks, she shared narratives from #RISETeam research participants about their pre-Canada experiences in refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan.

Although I couldn't attend, a steady stream of texts and emails from people in the audience kept me up to date on (1) how EXCELLENT Laila's talk was and (2) the delicious catered dinner. See slideshow below! 

Sincere thanks to Naomi, Sunah, and everyone at Oxfam UofT for hosting this important conversation and fundraiser.
