There's a version of herself Metra spent years editing before she spoke. Growing up as a Middle Eastern woman, the script was clear: get a good education, then step back. Don't rock the boat. Don't take up too much space.
Then she decided she was done with that script.
She built a career against everything she'd been told was possible, moving through marketing, sales and L&D before finding her purpose: leading people through the kind of change that shifts culture and creates spaces where everyone has a genuine chance to be heard.

"Confidence is not the absence of fear. It's the presence of purpose. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room. You just need to say it anyway."
