The founder of 'I am a voter' has pivoted from law, to fashion, to entertainment, tech, non-profit work, podcasting and now activism. She shares what she has learned along the way.
Dayani is the first to admit that each time she dove into a new field, she had very little experience or expertise. But that didn’t stop her.
Mandana Dayani of "I am a voter" chats with Know Your Value founder and "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski at the 30/50 summit in Abu Dhabi in March.Still, there were times when Dayani said she suffered from imposter syndrome. “Each time I took a job, I thought everyone would be much more qualified, experienced and knowledgeable than I was. But I eventually learned that everyone else is just figuring it out too.
It was that experience – in addition to witnessing the horrors of the child separation policies at the U.S. Mexico border in 2018 – that catalyzed Dayani to take action. Having been a refugee herself, she always considered herself deeply patriotic, thankful that this country saved her family. Dayani said her biggest fear about the upcoming election is that young voters won’t understand the importance of it.“I think a lot about how every election we are responsible for preserving our rights, like we don't just get to keep them forever. We have to maintain them … And my daughter today has fewer rights than I did when I came to this country, and that is disturbing,” said Dayani.
