Choosing a career path can be a difficult process to work through, especially when you don’t know exactly what you want to do. A lot of people stress out over the fact that they don’t have a straight path; which is a huge expectation society places on not yet fully developed 17 and 18 year old students. To get yourself where you want to be, it's important that you take the time to really think through your options.   In this episode of The Professional Muslim Women podcast, Fatima Hassan Ali, a strong professional who graduated from Harvard Law School will talk about her journey to finding her own career path. Growing up as an immigrant from Somalia, she always wanted to be in a profession that impacted people’s lives. But before she became the wonderful lawyer that she is now, Fatima had no idea how to get where she wanted.  Join us as Fatima shares her story on how she found a pathway to her dream profession. She’ll also talk about the important lessons she has learned from law school. Moreover, Fatima shares how having a mentor, network, and a community that supports you is vital in achieving success.
