Farhana Khorshed, an interpreter, community leader, and advocate for social and women’s rights, is dedicated to supporting minorities, with a primary focus on the Southeast Asian community in New England. Continuously engaged in various projects, she seizes opportunities to make a positive impact whenever they arise.

Farhana’s career trajectory commenced as a makeup artist at Chanel, where she discovered the profound potential of inner beauty, strength, and the intricate stories that define individuals. In the pivotal year 2000, she made a career shift, becoming an interpreter and counselor to actively contribute to the well-being of women, families, and the community. Her role enables her to empower individuals by recognizing and nurturing their inherent strengths and abilities.
In 2006, Farhana joined Nebaf Inc. (New England Bangladeshi American Foundation) to gain a deeper understanding of the entrenched challenges faced by families in the community. Working directly with people, she addresses issues and advocates for support and resources. Her efforts extend to facilitating the integration of new and existing immigrants, helping them navigate their surroundings and access social services.

Broadening her commitment, Farhana actively supports domestic violence victims, collaborating with various nonprofit coalitions in Massachusetts to meet the diverse needs of women in the community. Her overarching objective remains consistent — to provide aid in any conceivable way, bridging the gaps between communities and enabling everyone to embark on a new beginning, unified as an integral part of society.
