#127 - Building An Immigration Law Firm Around Motherhood — On Bias, Identity and Doing It Differently - Zahra Mohamed

She fled war as a child. Fast forward to today.
Zahra Mohamed is the founder of Alcyone Law, a specialist UK immigration law firm, a British Muslim woman, and a mother of three including five year old twins. She has spent 14 years navigating a legal system that was not always designed to welcome her — as a client, as a woman, or as a mother.
In this episode:
→ Fleeing war as a child and how that shaped her path into immigration law
→ Being mistaken for the interpreter in her own courtroom — and what she chose to do with that moment
→ Why she is building a law firm entirely on her own terms
→ The mental load and navigating two very different parenting styles
→ Why our backgrounds are not barriers — they are the very things that shape our strengths
For the woman whose past is heavy but who chooses to build towards the light anyway.
