Author Soulaima Gourani And Her Book “Take Control of Your Career”

I love sharing information about the women who with their lives, careers and perseverance make this life a better place on earth. Soulaima Gourani is a lecturer, corporate advisor, and author who crossed continents and cultures, prejudices and the impossible, becoming one of the “Inspiring 50 Nordics” women in the tech sector. Check out Soulaima’s biography below that gives you a quick picture what she had to go through and overcome in the world that still tries to separate us by color of our skin, gender and what we believe in.

Soulaima was born in Safi, Morocco, in 1975 but moved to Denmark shortly after with her parents. Her father was a Moroccan engineer, while her Danish mother is unskilled. Soulaima grew up in different small towns in Jutland, where she struggled to fit in as she was the only one with an exotic name and a darker skin color. She was told by her teachers that she shouldn’t expect to achieve much in life because of her gender, skin color, and name.

She decided to move out at the age of 13. Later, she chose to take an MBA at Copenhagen Business School. And in 2007 she was fired while pregnant and had to consider how to make a living. She decided to set up her own business, Soulaima Art, which offered lectures and counseling.
