Ep. 25: Rama Chakaki, Social Entrepreneur & Impact Investor | Be compelled to serve
Rama Chakaki applies 25 years of technical and communications experience to her passion: social development for Arab youth. In this episode, she shares with host Mungi Ngomane why she is compelled to serve, the importance of the human connection, as well as how so much, comes down to our connection to nature. Rama runs Chakaki Consulting, as well as VIP.fund, a venture philanthropy fund investing in youth programs and technology startups. In addition to creating space for those not typically afforded it, she works on creating peace through education and technology. Additionally, as a co-founder for edSeed, her philanthropic crowdfunding platform, she oversees all operations for refugee students seeking funding and mentorship for higher education. Her story is one of someone who turns challenges into opportunity, in an effort to reflect on where the imbalance lies and ensure all people are treated with dignity and respect the whole way through.
