Our history
Heyya Consulting was founded by Dr. Samia Hussein, a seasoned public health leader and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategist, to bridge the gap between policy, practice, and equity-driven outcomes.
Her expertise has been shaped by years of frontline engagement—coordinating health workforce pipeline programs, conducting equity research, and delivering trainings that address systemic barriers in healthcare and education. Through this experience, Dr. Hussein recognized a critical need: organizations often lacked tailored, practical support to embed equity into their operations, workforce, and leadership development strategies.
In response, she launched Heyya Consulting to help organizations and individuals translate their equity and public health goals into actionable, measurable results. Today, the firm builds on Dr. Hussein’s track record of success, combining evidence-based methods, real-world leadership experience, and a deep commitment to social impact.
Our mission
At Heyya Consulting, our mission is to empower organizations and individuals to create equitable, inclusive, and culturally responsive environments that drive meaningful change. We bridge public health expertise, workforce development strategies, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leadership to deliver actionable solutions that transform systems, strengthen communities, and build sustainable impact.
We believe that advancing equity is not only a moral imperative but also a catalyst for innovation, improved outcomes, and organizational success. Through tailored consulting, evidence-based training, and strategic guidance, we equip our clients with the tools to lead with purpose and achieve measurable results.
