When war broke out in Syria, 31-year-old Baraah Ramadan hoped that she would, somehow, still be able to live in her home and lead an ordinary life. However, when a bomb nearly struck her house, she realized she needed to flee to a safer environment with her husband and three children.
In this week’s episode, Baraah talks about how uniquely difficult forced migration is for women and mothers. She speaks about how remote working made it possible for her to be able to support her family while raising her children in her new-found home in Turkey. She walks us through the incredible ways she has had to adapt to her new environment in Turkey and how through all the turmoil, she was able to find her purpose in life: supporting and leading other women to careers in tech.
Baraah currently holds a BA in Information Systems Engineering from Syrian Virtual University and she works remotely as a program manager for Paper Airplanes. She invites us all to re-evaluate how we view refugees and to continue to bring their voices and experiences to the mainstream inorder to reshape the narrative around their existence.
