Humaira Ghilzai is a Social Entrepreneur dedicated to bringing people together across cultures.Born and raised in Kabul, Humaira and her family fled Afghanistan and became one of many nameless refugees escaping the Russian invasion. After challenging teenage years adjusting to life in the United States, Humaira graduated the top of her class in high school and went on to earn a B.A. in International Marketing. She settled into the calmness of an international career working for high tech giants Sun Microsystems and Oracle. Her lull of achieving the American Dream came to an abrupt end on 9/11. Mother of two girls, Humaira decided it was time for her to help the women and girls of Afghanistan and pay it forward for her good fortune – great education, a career and the right to choose – all of which was a mere dream for her peers in Afghanistan.
