For this week’s episode of Start Somewhere, we dive into the precious world of diamonds with the incredible Naseem Lahri. Naseem is the Managing Director of Lucara, a diamond mine in Botswana with sustainability, community and purpose at the heart of their business.
Naseem is a shining example of someone who found their purpose later in life. After a successful career at Deloitte excelling in multiple roles, she got a job in mining. She discovered this was her passion and moved across the country to the biggest mining company in Botswana. In 2018, she was promoted to Managing Director, and was the first female director of a diamond mine in Botswana. Naseem is truly paving the way for other women to be at the forefront of business.
In this episode, Naseem tells us about her rise to the top, how Botswana’s mineral wealth enabled it to transform from one of Africa’s poorest countries to a thriving nation and how Lucara Diamond supports and empowers its surrounding communities.
The ask: Consider visiting and buying a diamond locally to empower the community. Be bold and understand what you want. If you can dream it, you can achieve it. Work hard and persevere.
