FemForward

Meet our new Program Manager: Lina Turkin 🌟 Before joining FemForward, Lina founded and served as CEO of Sulis, a community of 3,000+ girls and women that equips members with the tools and network to pursue opportunities in the world of venture capital. Lina served in the Intelligence Corps of 81 as a Project Manager and Electronics Technician. Prior to this, she was the CEO of CTRACK, a startup focused on creating RF-based suitcase tags to help prevent baggage loss. Lina is an alumna of the MIT Innovation Leadership Bootcamps and is currently in her second year of a BA in Data Science at the prestigious London School of Economics. "I believe that every woman needs a supportive female environment and community where we uplift one another - these communities have so much power. Through my personal experience with war casualties - my fiancé was severely injured in the war, I’ve encountered a supportive group of women around me at the hospital. These are amazing, strong and intelligent women who strengthen everyone around them. I can clearly see that a female network can serve as a powerful multiplier to drive positive change in society. I am absolutely thrilled to join the FemForward team. What excites me is working with women from different backgrounds and religions, who at the same time face the challenges of war and, together through FemForward, learn, grow, and unite in a life-changing experience of advancing together in their careers. Even in the darkest of times, we find light through unity." We are so proud to have Lina join our team, welcome! #FemForward #WomenInTech #MeetTheTeam #BreakingBarriers

⭐ Meet the Alumni: Wesal (Manar) Awida, Machine Learning Engineer at BeeFree Agro ⭐ "My Journey in the FemForward Leaders Program: After seven difficult months since the beginning of the war, during which I could barely function aside from going to work and being at home, I enrolled in the FemForward program. At that time, I felt stuck — I couldn't focus on anything else, and the program was an opportunity for me to break out of that cycle and start taking care of myself, my personal and professional growth. This was the first thing I did for myself since October 7. During the sessions, I met strong and inspiring women. This was always important to me — to be in an environment of supportive and empowering women because only we can strengthen one another. I admired every woman in the program, especially the program leader, who gave each participant personal attention and support. This experience strengthened me in every way, and I learned so much from it. One of the goals I set for myself was to develop my skills in salary negotiations and advancing into a managerial position. Thanks to the support I received through the program and the guidance of my mentor, I was able to advance and achieve a significant salary increase. I had many other goals I wanted to start working on, but at the end of the program, I faced the hardest loss — my best friend, Major. Jalaa Ibrahem, a Company Commander in the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion, who fell during combat in the southern Gaza Strip. He had been serving in Gaza throughout the entire period of the war. I had planned to surprise him and tell him about the program because he had always been a supporter of empowerment and encouragement, and I knew how excited he would have been to see me progress. One of the participants in the program said something to me that has stayed with me ever since: ‘He is now your blessing for life, and he will stay in your heart forever, and no one can stop you. Always remember how much he supported you and wanted you to go as far as possible.’ This sentence gives me the strength to keep going and continue spreading his light."
