In The Hilla

By Ahmed Ismail

A podcast that educates/informs folks from marginalized communities about different career avenues/possibilities. When I originally had the idea for my podcast, I was thinking of issues within my community. It is rare to see engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and equity owners in low income neighborhoods. At the end of the day people are a product of their environment and you can't be what you can't see. Therefore, I created this podcast to serve as an example. Through this platform, I hope to educate/inform folks about the different avenues/possibilities that exist. And more importantly, break down how it was done as well as identify the challenges that can be expected. I started doing interviews for my podcast back in April and started posting content on July 2020. Thank you for tuning in! linktr.ee/inthehilla
