From Forced Silence to a Loud Purpose
My story is one of breaking barriers, escaping confinements, crossing continents, and daring to create a bold identity and a transformational life purpose.
I came from a part of the world where, from an early age, I was taught to be a follower—quiet, obedient, and unseen. Deeply constrained by Middle Eastern culture, community, and family expectations, I was molded into a version of myself that lacked identity. My path was predetermined, my worth decided by others, and my every action focused on preserving my family’s honor.
The weight of these suffocating external forces left me paralyzed with fear and searching for a sense of identity.
It took me years to recognize that I might have a choice—that I could hold more value than I was led to believe. Changing my circumstances would be dangerous and would require courage I had never known. But I was determined to embrace the unknown, stand alone if I had to, and begin finding a purpose in life, even in the face of life-threatening consequences.
Eventually, I shattered the limitations that had chained me to a life I no longer belonged to.
That moment marked the beginning of a new journey. Today, I draw from 18 years of global corporate experience and the resilience I developed through my personal story to create an empowering consulting company. As a motivational female speaker, I speak to future leaders, rebels, and visionaries—those ready to reach their full potential and contribute to a global movement for change.
With experience leading global teams and developing leaders at organizations such as IBM, Merrill Lynch, and Bank of America, I blend business acumen with inspirational motivational stories to connect with audiences on a deep emotional level. My work ignites courage, hope, and transformation.
Through keynote speeches, workshops, emotional intelligence training, coaching, and a vibrant online community, I share my unique leadership journey with one goal: to empower others to grow into impactful leadership roles and discover what they are truly capable of achieving.
I believe knowledge is the foundation of empowerment, and our world needs emotionally intelligent leaders who can act with purpose, vision, and heart.
It’s time to shatter your limitations and be courageous—join me as we grow into the leaders of tomorrow.
