Road to Arab Women Presidency
It helps if you found a woman idol whether it was a celebrity or just your mother you can evoke her soul. Whenever you needed to remind yourself to be strong, think of what that person would say or do.
Motivate a woman to be a woman
Tuesday, January 14, 2014
Last week, a mother signature became obligatory for children travel form in Lebanon. While it's a tiny step but definitely a new step forward for women rights.
A long road ahead of Lebanese women and long long long road ahead of Arab women in general.
It is inevitable to empower women and raise awareness of all the benefits a woman has the right to have in western countries yet in the Arab world they are still struggling.
Women, know that YOU MATTER! You are essential between your family, at your school, at your work...
It helps if you found a woman idol whether it was a celebrity or just your mother you can evoke her soul. Whenever you needed to remind yourself to be strong, think of what that person would say or do.
And please stop being the drama queen. I know it's our title, but don't fall in the emotion circle and drown there.
Handle insults and don't give compliments more than it should. Keep your self balanced. Don't be a tide!
Today we got a signature.. Tomorrow we will get the citizenship right and after salaries equality and next we will see a woman president in the Arab World!!
"One can only dream", they say. But when thousands dream and millions dream, the dream has to kneel and become reality.
Motivate a woman to be a woman
Tuesday, December 31, 2013
New year, new you. There are definitely lot of advices out
there on how to motivate a woman to be a better woman. But I would like to
focus on two words: You Matter.
You're going to say "TWO WORDS??!". Yes, two words when
understood well can make whole of a difference.
Being valued for who you are not for what you know. Women forgets
sometimes that they are essential in the world.
When we tell a young woman that she matters, we are inviting her
into a life of service and action. Leadership is hard work and it comes with
real responsibility. We help young leaders grow when we give them both, by
telling them that they matter, and are accountable for it.
To matter means to be of consequence
or importance to others.
It means you are significant,
relevant, worthy of note and of crucial value. The world may not always affirm
this. Your friends and family may not adequately communicate the importance of
your presence in their lives.
But that doesn’t mean that
what you do and who you are doesn’t have a profound impact on the world.
It does. The world would be a
very different place – a lesser place – without you.
Happy New Year
everyone!
