Our final episode of our Changemakers season is with Sarah Ahmed — a psychotherapist and CEO of Leena, a national mental health practice that addresses the unique needs of communities of color across Canada. She can be found sharing her expertise online @thepoctherapist through her popular accounts on Tiktok and Instagram.
Today, we’ll be talking to Sarah about why having access to therapists of color is so important, how her own background informs her approach and supports her clients, and the importance of community for healing trauma.
Joining me in the co-host seat is my childhood friend Samia Zitawi, who is Palestinian American.

This season we’re featuring Muslim Changemakers—people whose work has had an extraordinary impact in our community and beyond—and I’m so excited to share our conversation with Melanie Elturk. Melanie is the CEO of Haute Hijab, which she founded in 2010.
We’ll talk about the inspiration behind her work, the joys and challenges of building a major business, and how Haute Hijab has transformed access to modest wear in the United States.
Joining me in the co-host chair for this episode is my childhood friend, Salma Ibrahim.
