Info

Hello, my name is Safir.

As a Founder & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant, I have extensive experience creating inclusive workplace environments and promoting diversity within organisations. With a background in International Business and a passion for social justice, I have honed my skills in developing customised strategies to address issues of diversity and inclusion.

My experience includes founding and leading a successful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consulting firm, where I am helping numerous organisations build more diverse and inclusive cultures. I am working with clients across a variety of industries, including technology, social entrepreneurship, and finance, and am helping them attract and retain diverse talent, create inclusive policies and practices, and foster a sense of belonging among employees.

In addition to my consulting work, I am also designing and conducting workshops, conference speeches, and keynotes on diversity and inclusion in the workplace. My expertise in this area has been recognised by industry leaders and I have been invited to speak on panels and provide training to organisations on diversity and inclusion best practices.

As a Founder & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant, I am committed to promoting social change and creating more equitable workplaces. I am passionate about helping organisations create cultures that celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity, and I am excited to work with companies that share this vision.

    invited to give a mediation tour on Decolonial Feminism at KW Institute

    Tour name: Bodies of Racialization

    Location: KW Institute

    Content:
    “How do we apprehend the effect of racialization in a said “postcolonial” society? How do we deal with our bodies, which are supposed to be liberated but hold the weight of systemic oppressions? How do we understand violence as a persisting oppressive tool in self described “peaceful” Western societies? Which strategies do we develop to find suitable answers to these rhetorical questions?

    Following Audre Lorde’s assertion “I cannot afford the luxury of fighting one form of oppression only. I cannot afford to believe that freedom from intolerance is the right of only one particular group,” the conversation will drift towards intersectionality, multi-dimensionality, and universalism.

    This focus tour offers beginnings of critical dialogues about decolonial feminism and is an invitation to open a conversation about the questions that people from marginalized communities will likely face at some point during their life journey. We will follow and link these topics to the works of decolonial feminist artists such as Mónica de Miranda’s PATH TO THE STARS, Deneth Piumakshi Veda Arachchige’s SELF-PORTRAIT AS RESTITUTION – FROM A FEMINIST POINT OF VIEW, and Mayuri Chari’s I WAS NOT CREATED FOR PLEASURE.”

  • The worst of fashion

    Arts of the Working Class

    I decided to write this piece about my fashion career because I needed healing from a decade of being oppressed as a model minority. I wrote a very honest piece about what it is to be successful in an industry to belittles you every time it is possible to do so.

  • Letter to My Younger Self From the Happy, Queer, Muslim Man* of Colour I Became

    Daddy magazine

    I wrote a letter to my younger self here. It’s all about what it is to be born in a society that won’t accept you unless you fight for it, it’s all about acceptance. Self-acceptance. The love letter is a way to use radical softness in a world where power and money usually rule.

  • Queer Vs. Muslim

    Dune Magazine

    A piece about conflicting identities. I write about the intersectionality of being a queer Muslim person of colour and how I am now understanding being queer doesn’t mean I cannot also be Muslim.

  • Transmission

    Dune Magazine

    This piece is from a very intimate journal where I try to understand what it means to be born Algerian in a French society. I initiate a conversation with my Amazigh father on what erasure means to him.
