Inspiring Journeys 2026
Description
A free event for high school aged youth and their parents/guardians

Logan has always had greatness in it - and this event is about making sure our young people know that too.
Join us for a powerful morning of real stories, honest conversations, and inspiration you won't forget. Six diverse local role models will share their journeys on stage: the doubts they faced, the barriers they broke through, and how they found their path forward.
Whether your young person is thinking about university, dreaming of starting a business, or trying to figure out where they fit in the world of work - there's a story on this stage for them.
Meet the panel:
Mo Alizadeh - Entrepreneur & Founder of HalalHop
Fardowsa Yussuf - Co-founder of Talim Legacy Youth
Peter Sambia - Entrepreneur & Founder of Praema
Alberto Stanley-Melesia - Youth Support Coordinator at Kingston State High School

What to expect:
A live panel discussion featuring local role models sharing their authentic journeys
Talks from Jon Raven (Mayor of Logan City) and Angelia Leitch (Deputy Vice Chancellor of Griffith University and Woodridge State High School Alumni)
Real talk on university pathways, entrepreneurship, and working your way up
Interactive Q&A so young people can ask the questions that actually matter to them
Plus, stick around for a few surprises on the day! 🛍️🍩
This isn't a lecture. It's a conversation - and your young person deserves a seat at the table.
