Being Other is for all ambitious creative young women who might feel that they don’t belong in a mostly white, mostly male corporate world. It’s for women who want to make a difference, who want to succeed – and who want to stay true to themselves at the same time.
Through poignant case studies, convincing data and the author’s own life story, the contents will paint a cogent narrative of what is happening for women of color and why it is important to the rest of the world.

Hanae Bezad is an impact entrepreneur, international project manager, board advisor, curator, and the author of Being Other, a personal reflection on culture, gender, and identity. Her expertise spans government and international development institutions, civil society, and business. At the heart of her work lies a keen interest in the convergence of technology, sustainability, inclusion, entrepreneurship, and international development, and supporting the rise of a creative feminine leadership.

Born and raised in Morocco, Hanae has worked and traveled across Europe, Africa, and the Americas and Asia, developing and nurturing impact tech enabled creative ventures with different communities and organizations. She is currently focused on nurturing the burgeoning leadership movement among Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (BIWOC), supporting emerging entrepreneurs and philanthropists, and fostering cultural innovators who are driving global impact.

Luke Martiros is a gatherer. He interviewed social entrepreneurs across 6 continents on his podcast, Why It Matters. He built a social network to unite their power together, but realized tech wasn’t the space he wanted to be in. He transitioned to soccer, where he played semi-pro soccer for 2 months. After a slow integration with the team, he decided to rejoin the business world by hosting events with social entrepreneurs. He is continuing his soccer journey, and his goal is to win the World Cup in 2026.
