Join us for a warm, engaging afternoon in celebration of South Asian Heritage Month – a cozy mix of book chat, cultural delights, and personal storytelling.
In a fireside-style conversation, we’ll hear from a senior leader in the insurance industry who recently became a published author. Drawing from both his professional journey and his South Asian heritage, he’ll share reflections on identity, leadership, and the creative process behind his debut novel.
The book explores the lives of a British-Pakistani Muslim family in 1990s England. Told through the voices of three siblings, it delves into how children of immigrants navigate the tension between honour, ambition, faith, and personal freedom.
Our speaker will reflect on:
- Deconstructing the interplay between culture and modern professional life
- How his cultural roots shaped both his leadership and storytelling
- The balancing act between career, creativity, and community
- The relevance of Family Values in today’s corporate and social landscape
This will be an honest, thought-provoking session exploring belonging, resilience, and the power of personal narrative.
