Why you should book Barjis Chohan for your next event

Barjis Chohan is a woman of many talents; a designer, social entrepreneur, and a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in business.
She is a great speaker on topics ranging from womens’ rights to making the arts accessible to all.

Barjis's story could have been the typical immigrant story; parents pushing for medicine as a career, cultural and traditional upbringing. There is nothing wrong with the conventional immigrant story that we know. However, what makes Barjis's story interesting is that she turned the other way.

Motivational talks about fashion, diversity, inclusion and women in business

Forged a career in the elitist Fashion industry; decided not to go to medical school; instead enrolled at London College of Fashion; interned at the most eclectic and adventurous Designer we know: Vivienne Westwood; dragged her family to the Middle East every few months (whilst breastfeeding) to knock on doors to secure work for her business; posted handwritten poems to oil companies at the age of 17 to invest in her business and stopped holding fashion shows at the peak of her career because it didn't feel 'right' as she didn't want young girls to be objectified.

If you want a trailblazer, game changer, rule breaker, and someone who brings passion and inspiration to the stage then Barjis is the one. Barjis is the individual that we all want to be but are not brave enough to be. She lights the stage with her stories, failures, and challenges to help us to dream big.
