Fatma is a dedicated advocate of social impact with a focus on racialized immigrants and minority entrepreneurs. Her interest areas led to her earning an MA in Immigration andSettlement Studies and shaped a professional career in immigration policy; developing programming to address credential recognition and employment integration of newcomers; and as a business development leader advocating for the inclusion of minority entrepreneurs in corporate Canada. Fatma has held policy roles with the federal and provincial government and in leadership roles at non-profits advancing supplier diversity in Canada and creating meaningful employment pathways and opportunities for racialized

In 2021, Fatma re-joined the Public Service as a Policy Analyst with the Federal Anti- Racism Secretariat (ARSEC) leading its work on review and input on Memoranda to Cabinet; Social Procurement policy and program development for Black Entrepreneurs; and the Secretariat’s Anti-Racism Framework tool.
