Rasool Verjee, originally from Kenya, has gone through many ups
and downs and different journeys throughout his life.
Having to learn to be independent early on in his education years
and discover what career path he wanted to pursue through
university, there have been many roadblocks as well as triumphs
of success. In Rasool’s later years he was blindsided by a
medical emergency. Through this time, he was inspired to write
his book “Nugget Road.” He talks about people he has met through
his journey and inspirational stories that helped discover his
Ikigai.

Ashraf is the founder and owner of the Heritage Collection, a
South Asian fashion brand she started 17 years ago. In 2022, she
became one of the first Ismaili fashion designers to display her
work at New York Fashion Week. The event happens semi-annually
and gives designers from around the world an opportunity to
showcase their latest designs and work.
Growing up in Pakistan, Ashraf found that happiness and
celebrations were her key inspiration for her designs, going as
far as designing outfits for her Barbies that matched her own.
That sentiment shifted slightly when she immigrated to Virginia.
