Meet Bakar Fariha Salma Deiya, aka "Barbie"!
When we asked her about her sense of belonging in Hong Kong, she proudly shared, "I am a Bangladeshi Hongkonger 孟加拉裔香港人!" .
Barbie led an inspiring session at our Voices of Tomorrow - Cohort 1, diving into the concept of Ikigai and she generously shared her incredible journey in public-speaking (she’s a TEDx speaker!), advocacy, education and hosting a radio show!
Barbie's Inspiring TedX Talk
We're thrilled that Barbie is initiating her Cantonese Speaking Course with our youth, enhancing their learning journey and boosting their public speaking skills. Barbie introduces a fresh approach to learning Cantonese, focusing on the theme: "How to Navigate Hong Kong Like a Local." Our participants are deepening their connections with the city's culture, by picking up local phrases and vocabulary that they'll confidently use in presentations, workplaces and social settings.
