In this fascinating episode, we talk to Nazia Faiz who is a British born, Sri Lankan Muslim. Nazia talks to us about what it was like growing up in Sri Lanka within a Muslim minority community in a family with two other sisters and no boys, and how her parents' choices ensured that she and her sisters were given a full education and encouraged to pursue careers as independent, successful women. We talk about her experience moving back to the United Kingdom for university and how her connection with her identity and faith as a Muslim women has evolved over the years. We also talk about how in 2019 the attitude towards the Muslim minority community living in Sri Lanka changed drastically, as a result of the rise of nationalism fueled by political game playing. Nazia talks us through her journey from achieving some of the world's top grades in economics at A-level to securing her first job, and how she was one of the first women from her community to work abroad. Nazia shares passionately her view on how women can and should feel like they are able to have a successful career and also look after their homes. We talk about the cultural differences between our home countries and the United Kingdom and how we've both coped with having to straddle these two worlds. We end by talking about Nazia's experience working at a Big Four accountancy firm as a management consultant and how she made the conscious decision to transition, after 6 years, to a smaller firm working as a Strategic Initiatives lead. The conversation ends with an inspiring message to all women from Nazia.
