Today I bring you part 2 of my conversation with Yaser Naseri, an Iranian refugee with a story to tell.
Please, if you happen to have stumbled on this episode and have not listened to part 1 – head now to listen to Episode 36 then come back here and all will make sense.
What an honour it was to listen to part 2 of Yaser Naseri’s story as a refugee from Iran, part 2 starting with the day he arrived in Brisbane.
You cannot not be moved by Yaser, not just his story but his attitude, his determination to make a life worth living, his desire and need to be a voice for all those who have lost their lives fleeing war, persecution and discrimination, and above all his hopes for the future.
You can help his hopes and dreams become a reality by considering Yaser as your next Keynote Speaker. Please connect with him on LinkedIn (contact details below).
