fresh soil

Meet the diverse social impact leaders in The Bloom. Every week brings "fresh soil" – inspiration for your career and beyond.

Bloomers, meet Rawan Taha 🌱

From 8:00 to 17:00, Rawan works with the United Nations World Food Programme in Namibia as a Research, Assessment, Monitoring (RAM) and Reporting Officer.

In the evenings, she dedicates time to advocating for youth employment by writing self-help content, sharing entry-level international job opportunities, and conducting webinars for over 47,000 global youth followers on LinkedIn. She is also the author of No More Job Secrets, a business book focused on helping youth find entry-level international jobs – "I was unemployed twice so my passion stems from pain and a desire to truly help others because I know how hopeless and helpless unemployment can make a person feel."

In addition, Rawan volunteers with the British Council as the Ambassador for Sustainable Development Goal (8), which focuses on Decent Work and Economic Growth—a role that still gives her goosebumps for the platform and privilege it provides to create change in a field she is deeply passionate about.
​
​Rawan will join us to share her personal journey, and if you're looking for her mentorship on particular subjects, you can submit questions to Rawan ahead of time in The Bloom community.

This event is open to ANYONE! RSVP through ​Zoom link to Rawan's talk on Dec 12, and share the Zoom link with friends looking for meaningful career inspiration ✨

Our peer reviewed learning resource this week comes from Atreyee, a Climate Leader at The Bloom: Feminist Food Journal Newsletter 💌

"In a world of climate crisis, disappearing species, deepening inequality and rising malnutrition, can meat only be part of the problem — or is it also a potential solution?"
