I’m Natasha Jane Hussein.
I define myself as a heart centred entrepreneur, speaker, educator, writer, visionary creator.
Life set me up for a world of contrast. Born in a household with a Sudanese father and Filipino mother, raised in London it set the stage for living a life that defies categorisation. This is reflective of my approach to life, to create without boundaries, borders and a firm belief that everything is possible when we are willing to ask ‘how?’ As a child, I sketched concepts from a Laboratory themed cocktail bar; cafe’s that truly make people feel at home, long before Starbucks asked for your name and large scale builds like ‘The World’ - the World’s largest emporium of foods from around the world.
I have a strong ability to predict the future by being attuned to patterns — the obvious, subtle and near invisible. But I maintain that that we should build a future we truly want to see, in our home, in our organisations and in our societies. This requires vision and a commitment to not participate in the pain of today but to create around the potential for joy in this moment — this I believe, is the task our civilisation has been given now.
I hope you will join me in a future better than our past.
Yours,
Natasha Jane Hussein
