Ep. #20- Layla The Dallas Paki Blogger

If you’re looking for confidence, inspiration, and deep conversations, you’ve come to the right place. We are welcoming Layla, the Dallas Paki blogger, to today’s episode of The Inn Between! Layla is a first generation Pakistani immigrant and is sharing about her culture and how she embraces it while recognizing there are pieces of it that she would rather leave behind. Layla is also involved in promoting tourism to Pakistan with a trip coming up soon. Growing up Layla struggled with her Pakistani background and now is influencing those who share her culture to be bold and leave behind their comfort zones. As part of this, Layla has learned the power of mindset and putting out positivity has brought along good in her life. Catch a quick recap of Layla’s trip to Concan towards the end.
