About this listen

 Born in West London to Sudanese parents, Rozan spent a few of her formative years in the Middle East before suddenly becoming a refugee. “We lived in Kuwait when the Gulf war broke out, which took its toll on the whole family. We lost our home and all our belongings. My dad and uncle were taken hostage. It wasn’t until my twenties that I fully grasped what my parents had to overcome. I look at them now with such intense amounts of awe, to have gotten us through so much, so gracefully.” After hectic shuffling between Egypt and Sudan, Rozan and her family resettled in the UK where she completed her education, graduating with honours from Greenwich University.In the face of worldwide disruption and intense transition, it is the role of multi-disciplinary global shapers like Rozan Ahmed to navigate these turbulent times and present new opportunities emerging from uncertainty. Rozan often acts as an independent think tank, influencing and impacting lives through crisscrossing tools of design, dialogue, brand-building and crucial cultural exchange. Bringing needed attention to the lesser-known possibilities and overlooked localities, Rozan works to highlight topics that warrant deeper thought, whilst tapping into – and championing – society’s future potential.In this episode we talk about how Rozan was able to escape the war in Sudan and her values and beliefs help her to 'make it happen' in her life and work.Learn more about Rozan - http://www.rozanahmed.comHead to D-journal - D-journaldubai.com
