In this special season of Uprooted, we are honoring our beautiful sister Zuher Ibrahim who passed away April 24, 2022. Zu was such a light, and champion in this world that her impact has been felt globally amongst her family, friends, peers, and community. She taught us so much and gave us everything she had so in that spirit we are honoring her legacy by continuing our plans to produce her own show, Summer with Zu. Before her sudden passing, we had been planting the seed to produce a segment specifically for Zu to 'educate and empower' people, especially in the realm of human rights and politics which were her specialties, and even before that she'd recommend amazing people to the show. So in that spirit, I have invited those folks to join me in uplifting her legacy, and to share this healing space as we figure out life moving forward 💜
Joining me for the first episode is none other than Aseye, representing the New York/Tri-State Tegaru Community. Aseye has been such a blessing to meet through Zu, as we've navigated the last two years together. Before this season, we were to record an episode about navigating a career in the finance sector, and life journey Aseye has had growing up in New York. Since Zu's passing, she rallied along with the Tri-State Tegaru Professional Network & greater community to celebrate the homegoing and now 1st annual Zu Day on July 30th in New York City. It has been beautiful to watch the outpouring of love and intention in which she's been honoring Zu's legacy, and I'm happy to share this convo with you all.
