Our guest today on Business in Colour is Nassim Khadem, who is an award-winning journalist, reporting on business news across online, radio and TV for the ABC. Nassim began working as a journalist with The Age in 2003, including being the newspaper's economics correspondent. Before joining the ABC, she worked in various business reporting and editing roles for Fairfax Media's BRW magazine, The Australian Financial Review and as deputy business editor for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. 

In this episode, we learn about Nassim’s growing up years, her father’s foresight to come to Australia, her parents backing to pursue journalism, when likely… other migrant parents preferred a legal or medical pathway; her take on fitting in and code-switching from her younger self to now. Nassim shares her career story which showcases her navigation through obstacles, her hard work ethic, her ability to influence her own path and engage mentors and allies strategically. She wraps this up in some really great advice at the end. What will move you in this episode is Nassim’s recount of her journalism work on Iran, she has an authentic and humanistic voice in this space and we are grateful for her advocacy for stories that just wouldn’t have been heard or told without journalists like her. Please enjoy and follow the courageous storyteller and leader, Nassim Khadem.
