Maryam Alsobhi

Maryam is a senior in high school and has been a part of A Leadership Journey for 2 years. She traveled to Kenya as a sophomore with ALJ and is planning to travel to Ghana with ALJ next. She resides in Boston, MA. Maryam is the owner of the cosmetics company MarAmour and founder of the social enterprise Wdd.

She’s passionate about advocating for BIPOC especially in the event of injustices due to personal experiences. Maryam’s love for A Leadership Journey is what led her to take on the role of Alumni Engagement Manager. She believes that there are many benefits of being a participant of ALJ that positively impact each student.

In her words, she says, "the takeaways from the experiences ALJ provides are too powerful to not be used as tools for students of color to maneuver through life." “Although we are all different, our lives are much intersected in ways we wouldn’t know if it weren’t for our conversations in ALJ”. She’s excited to partake in this role to make sure ALJ alums always stay connected to the organization through various activities and events; also, as a resource and amazing role models from various career paths to look up to for future students of A Leadership Journey.
