We’re unlearning neutrality- and reclaiming our voice.
In this episode of Sense Making Conversations, Andrea sits down with celebrated journalist Farah Nasser to explore what happens when your work requires you to be impartial, but your truth demands to be heard. Farah, formerly a national news anchor in Canada, shares why she walked away from a high-profile career in broadcast journalism to reclaim her authenticity—and what it cost her to stay silent for so long.
This is a conversation for truth-seekers, change-makers, and anyone who's ever wondered if fitting in means giving something up.
Together, Farah and Andrea unpack:
- The difference between facts and truth
- Why authenticity can feel radical in professional spaces
- The cost of masking in the name of professionalism
- What happens when women stop playing small and start speaking up
This episode isn’t just about media- it’s about courage. It’s about what we owe ourselves when the mask no longer fits.
If you’ve ever felt the friction between who you are and what your role expects, Farah’s story will resonate deeply.
Listen now and be reminded: Your voice, your story, and your truth- matter.
