Bio
Sirajah Raheem, MPH
I had the privilege of working closely with Lily at MiQ. Lily has a strong commitment to executing the best practices of adult learning in a way that emphasizes the lived experiences and humanity of her colleagues. Her work is imbued with respect, compassion, and a strong emphasis on cultural relevance. Lily's ability to seamlessly integrate our core values as the foundation of skills-building makes complex topics relatable and actionable. Lily's work is great, but also her warm and approachable personality builds strong relationships that foster an individual commitment to personal development. She has an innate ability to engage with people from diverse backgrounds and create an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. I am happy to recommend her without reservation.
