Our guest this Thursday is someone with a very different story.

There are many sides to her. Natasha E. Feghali is a Lebanese Canadian. She began her career as an educator in different parts of the world. The urge to do more led her to start her own real estate development company which has done well over the years.

This year Natasha reached a big milestone when she was selected Stanford

University Fellow of the Draper Hills School for Democracy and Democratic Rule for her community work and philanthropy. Natasha always tries to push the envelope with her public speaking, community engagement and her multifarious roles. It will be interesting to see what she does next.
