Maryama Farah
Biography
I'm an internally trained lawyer going through my NCA requirements. I've spent the bulk of my career working in legal non-profit environments focused on affirming rights for indigenous communities. I'm privileged to have been able to work with indigenous peoples from my own nomadic group as well as forest and fishing communities to establish their rights to secure tenure over their ancestral lands. Advocacy, legislative drafting, negotiation and education were the larger bases that I worked up from. I'm excited to marry the experience I have with the education I'm receiving at Osgoode Hall to make me an even better, more capable lawyer.
