Not in theory, but in lived experience: in my family\u2019s history, and in my own place within systems that never felt neutral.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My parents left Tunisia at the beginning of the 90\u2019s at a time when the space to express political ideas was not only limited but dangerous. <strong>Their political engagement came with consequences<\/strong>, and leaving became a necessity. But <strong>exile is never neutral<\/strong>\u2026 it reshapes how you see the world and how the world also sees you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being born and raised in France, I inherited that history alongside another reality: <strong>one shaped by colonial legacies that still structure how bodies, identities, and voices are perceived and treated<\/strong>. I learned early that belonging is not simply about being present. It is about <strong>how you are read, categorized, and sometimes reduced<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being racialised because of the hijab during my high school years became a social and political marker. A way for teachers and <strong>the high school principal to define me and often limit me<\/strong>.I still remember that during my high school graduation ceremony, I was excluded despite having the right to be there, and I had to wait outside the school,\u00a0 an experience that left a lasting mark on me. I became aware of <strong>how quickly people assign meaning<\/strong>, <strong>how difference is politicized<\/strong>, and how certain identities are made hyper-visible while their voices are simultaneously questioned or dismissed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the lens I carry into my work today as a governance and policy-making hub program manager. On paper, my role is to coordinate initiatives, stakeholders, manage processes, and contribute to policy-making work. <strong>But in practice, I operate at the intersection of systems and lived realities where decisions are shaped<\/strong> but not always experienced equally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I work in spaces where people with a migration background and young people are invited to engage with governance processes, to contribute to policy discussions, and yet, I am constantly aware that inclusion on its own does not guarantee influence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In civic spaces, especially, representation is often celebrated as an endpoint. But I have come to believe that it is only a starting point. The real question is: <\/span><b>how is power built, shared and exercised? Who is able not just to be present, but to influence outcomes? And through what mechanisms?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also where critical thinking becomes essential. To engage with policy-making without questioning <em>its frameworks is to risk reinforcing the very inequalities<\/em> it seeks to address. It is necessary to name what does not work, <strong>to resist the pressure to accept institutional process as neutral<\/strong>, and to remain attentive to what is excluded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working within governance has taught me <strong>that transformation requires strategy<\/strong>: change does not happen simply because something is unjust. <strong>It requires understanding how decisions are made<\/strong>, where influences lie, how coalitions are built, and how to navigate institutions <strong>without losing clarity of purpose<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me, <strong>leadership is not about amplifying the most visible voices<\/strong>. It is about <strong>creating the conditions for others to develop their own<\/strong> and to do so in ways that do not require them to conform to existing norms of legitimacy. In that sense, my work often <strong>feels like building bridges<\/strong>, but also like building coalitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because in policy-making, power rarely shifts through individual presence alone. <strong>It shifts collectively, through alliances, shared understanding, and the ability to connect different experiences into a common direction.<\/strong> It is not only about managing processes but holding spaces where power dynamics can be questioned and shifted. It is about ensuring that engagement is not performative but meaningful. <strong>That participation is not reduced to presence<\/strong>, <strong>but connected to influence<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This work is often visible. <strong>It does not always appear in reports or indicators<\/strong>. It lives in small moments: a conversation that creates trust, a follow-up that allows someone to speak next time, a shift in how a space is experienced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking ahead, I want to contribute to building governance spaces that are not only inclusive in appearance but <strong>transformative in practice<\/strong>. Where legitimacy is not predefined but expanded. Where power is not simply redistributed symbolically, but <strong>rethought collectively<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because for me, transformation is not only about improving systems, it is about <strong>changing who they are built<\/strong> for and who gets to shape them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u201d1\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d3.27.4\u2033 background_color=\u201d#fcd21d\u201d custom_margin=\u201d||||false|false\u201d custom_margin_tablet=\u201d||-52px|\u201d custom_margin_phone=&quot;||-52px&quot; custom_margin_last_edited=&quot;on|phone&quot; custom_padding=&quot;0px||0px||false|false&quot; box_shadow_style=&quot;preset1&quot; box_shadow_vertical=&quot;0px&quot; box_shadow_blur=&quot;6px&quot; global_module=&quot;4187&quot; saved_tabs=&quot;all&quot; global_colors_info=&quot;{}&quot;][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&quot;on&quot; gutter_width=&quot;2&quot; custom_padding_last_edited=&quot;on|desktop&quot; module_class=&quot;et_pb_row_fullwidth&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.16&quot; width=&quot;94%&quot; width_tablet=&quot;80%&quot; width_phone=&quot;&quot; width_last_edited=&quot;on|desktop&quot; max_width=&quot;94%&quot; max_width_tablet=&quot;80%&quot; max_width_phone=&quot;&quot; max_width_last_edited=&quot;on|desktop&quot; custom_padding=&quot;0|0px|0px|0px|false|false&quot; custom_padding_tablet=&quot;&quot; custom_padding_phone=&quot;&quot; make_fullwidth=&quot;on&quot; global_colors_info=&quot;{}&quot;][et_pb_column type=&quot;4_4&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.16&quot; custom_padding=&quot;|||&quot; global_colors_info=&quot;{}&quot; custom_padding__hover=&quot;|||&quot;][et_pb_signup provider=&quot;hubspot&quot; hubspot_list=&quot;PLACE team|11&quot; success_message=&quot;Merci !
