AHVA AS A LEADER

Success involves continuous progress and adaptation, not always in a straight line. Ahva embodies this through her shift from aspiring doctor to tech entrepreneur.

Leadership is not easy.

Great Leaders empower.

The future of leadership is more important than ever.

When I think of a leader, I think of late congressman John Lewis.

AHVA ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Ahva is a strong advocate for mental health and self-care in leadership. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle through morning yoga and mindful breaks. “I make time for yoga in the mornings and I step away if I'm feeling frustrated to go on a walk, grab water and breathe before I come back,” she shares. This routine helps her stay grounded and resilient, allowing her to tackle the pressures of leadership effectively.

AHVA ON EMPOWERING YOUTH

Ahva's journey is deeply inspired by her late mentor, Congressman John Lewis. Her experience with him during a civil rights fellowship shaped her leadership philosophy. Symba, the tech startup she co-founded, focuses on creating opportunities for young professionals through internships and apprenticeships, impacting over 10,000 job seekers. Ahva believes in the power of investing in the next generation, stating, “Leaders need to invest in hiring and training up our next generation!” This dedication is reflected in Symba's mission to foster economic opportunity and mobility.
