===Biography===
Raisa Ghazi (Amsterdam, 11th of April 1989) is a Dutch Muslim workplace inclusion advocate and global public speaker. She was born and raised in Amsterdam and Aalsmeer, where she was one of the very few children with a migrant background. This is where she developed an interest in the division of power and, more specifically, how minority groups can develop themselves in societies with a lot of exclusion. From a very young age, she wanted to dedicate her life to establishing more inclusion in society https://www.jan-magazine.nl/lifestyle/a42648951/jan-februari-2023/. 
She has obtained an MSc. in Intl. Business from Nyenrode Business University and an MSc. in Political Science from the University of Amsterdam. Her research on the relationship between ODA and the quality of institutions reached the media in 2015https://www.linkedin.com/in/raisaghazi/overlay/education/253978355/multiple-media-viewer/?profileId=ACoAABc_guABYsq7551J2hQUTCM9d59KRCd0CdE&treasuryMediaId=1548411619385 https://debalie.nl/programma/alleen-maar-witte-politici/. and she has been an internationally requested speaker on development, equality and politics topics since then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iZP72XFWtE https://amsterdamwitregatta2020.sched.com/list/descriptions/ https://dwtonline.com/raisa-ghazi-deelt-vaardigheden-met-vrouwen-die-willen-groeien-in-hun-carriere/ https://www.sun.sr/Details/20936 https://www.gmfus.org/sites/default/files/2023-02/PDF%20FINAL%20version_ILS%202023_agenda.pdf https://mdra.nl/sfeerimpressie-geen-woorden-maar-daden-de-lancering-van-het-fyjas-racisme-en-discriminatie-keurmerk/ https://fd.nl/samenleving/1460806/zij-vieren-de-feestdagen-anders-dan-anders.
