In this episode, Christian sits down with Farida Abu-Bakare, the director of global practice at the award-winning architecture, urban design, and planning firm WXY. For more than a decade, she has worked throughout North America and Africa to build an extensive portfolio, including aviation, culture, healthcare, higher education, justice, residential, science, and technology projects. In addition, Farida is the emeritus Community Affairs Director of Atlanta’s NOMA Chapter (National Organization of Minority Architects), whose mission is to champion diversity within the design profession. Her work with NOMA led her to co-found BAIDA (Black Architects and Interior Designers Association).
