I enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Programme because of its unique nature that interrogates, accommodates, and blends different disciplines and integrates them into her study. I took a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses Human Rights and Equity Studies, Women, Political economy, and Sociology. I am the founder of Women in Investment, a business organization that has brought together East African Women in Toronto intending to invest in real estate. The organization also supports other recent East African women by creating a social network and a cultural community.
