Global Recognition & Impact
Farah’s work as a thought leader, speaker, host, and storyteller has been recognised on the global stage for its depth, authenticity, and impact.
She has served as the official emcee and co-host of the Women Changing the World Awards in both 2024 and 2025, alongside Dr Tererai Trent — leading the room with presence, warmth, and clarity while guiding powerful conversations that celebrate courage, leadership, and women driving change worldwide.
Her contribution to thought leadership and social impact has been honoured with Silver for Thought Leader of the Yearand Bronze for Social Enterprise (People’s Choice), reflecting both industry recognition and deep community resonance. In Australia, Farah was also awarded Silver for Most Influential Person of the Year at the Beam Awards.
“Recognition matters not because it elevates one voice, but because it amplifies the message — that when women remember their worth, they rise, and so does the world around them.”
Together, these honours recognise more than achievement — they reflect the trust placed in Farah’s voice, presence, and leadership, and her role as a living symbol of self-worth, inspiring others to rise, lead, and remember who they are.
