Ground Up Society - Executive Statements

Ground Up Society-I started this team and project to help people better understand what life looks like after their careers. With a background in national speech and debate and being the outreach director of an e-commerce brand, I wanted to use storytelling to connect others and share real experiences and resources so that people could understand and help each other make the journey into the workforce more transparent and relatable.

Zuhayer Tarafder

I’ve seen how powerful stories can be. I started this project to help people better understand life after their careers begin. Through honest conversations, real experiences, and voices that deserve to be heard. My goal is connection, clarity, and community.

Mahbuba Metu

I’m passionate about helping my community and learning from others. With experience volunteering in a clinic, I’ve gained valuable insight from people of all backgrounds. Through this project, I hope to share those perspectives and highlight the lessons we can learn from one another.

Falisha Mashel

I ask questions that spark stories—questions that help people feel seen. I believe the world is aching to be listened to. Through this project, I want to uncover voices often overlooked, forgotten, or never even asked in the first place. Everyone has a story. Let’s find them.

Jaima Wahed

I’m fascinated by the emotions behind people’s work—the pride, struggle, hope, and resilience. This project is a way for me to slow down and truly listen. I want to help preserve the humanity in everyday jobs and remind others that behind every role is a person worth knowing.
