Have Different People for Different Things

Guest Zahra Al-Harazi’s inspiring childhood instilled an early need to find her path. Born in Uganda as an only child and raised in Yemen to a Yemeni father and an Indian mother, fostered a sense of deep loneliness and an outsider. It never occurred to Zahra that she would remain an outsider. Each new experience was an opportunity to try to fit in, even at the expense of breaking the rules. A marriage allowed Zahra to move to Canada, and, suddenly, a path came forward, which she took to find her life’s passion and independence. Zahra’s determination was not about courage but about what she knew she needed for her story to be complete. Family, dear friends, philanthropy, cooking, and eating well are ways that Zahra enjoys her life.
