Today’s conversation with my good friend Yasmin Halima is truly a unique one. Yasmin is an award-winning global health executive who has mobilized partnerships that have shifted government policy, shaped clinical research and expanded treatment and prevention options for patients. She has worked with the Gates Foundation, the Global Campaign for Microbicides, global PR agency Burson-Marsteller, and Right to Care in South Africa, and she has chaired congressional briefings and served on the boards of AIDS advocacy coalitions. With over two decades in global health, Yasmin has impacted health regulations and standards in countries across the world. 

From her childhood in Gujarat, India, to growing up in the heart of industrial England, and later moving the U.S. to expand her education and make a bigger impact, Yasmin’s fierce independence has focused on creating opportunities for women of color. She co-founded the Yasmin Leadership Academy with her daughter, Dr. Seema Yasmin, a physician, professor, and journalist. The Yasmin Leadership Academy nurtures future women leaders and challenges gendered attributes of power and leadership.

Yasmin’s story truly tells the power of one person choosing to live with courage and use her voice—which opens doors not only for herself and her own daughter, but for people around the world.
