Introducing a new 6-Part series in collaboration with A Minute Marvel, an online platform for artists and creators that tells marvelous stories one minute at a time.

In the 5th chapter, my guest is Aida Murad - start-up and philanthropic strategies and partnerships advisor, entrepreneur coach focused on founder wellbeing,  an artist, and community builder. 

Aida Murad’s single purpose is to unlock human potential. Due to today's global mental health crisis that could be a global opportunity for transformation, she is dedicating her work fully towards systems change and opportunities in mental health. Additionally today, Aida is a board member for Masawa Fund, the first mental health fund, writer for Thrive Global, Contributor for the Never Alone Summit, a global mental health summit; and serves as Co-Director for NEXUS MENA & Arab Diasporas and NEXUS’s Mental Health Coalition bringing impact investors, philanthropists and social innovators together.

She has worked for over a decade building social enterprises in the education, fashion, food, health, and technology industries as well as supporting the management of $300 million in governmental and development funds for the public and private sectors, negotiating over $2 billion in the MENA region alone. She built one of the first e-commerce platforms in Jordan at the age of 20 to empower women in the region with financial independence. She continued to embark on a journey of empowerment through all her work including being on the founding team of One Journey Festival, the first festival in the US celebrating refugees' talents in the creative industries. Aida is the recipient of the 2017 FHI 360 Impact Award for Woman Leadership, 2017 Most Voted RAW Artist, 2017 Inaugural artist for GoARTful, and 2016 FHI Emerging Leaders.
