Welcome to the first episode of 2024. Today, I have a very special guest. One particular part of our conversation made me reflect on something precious, and I want to share it with you. This episode is not a simple one to listen to. It's the story of a woman who fought against all odds. She stood up against her culture, her parents, the stigmas, the cancer… In her words, she stood up against God to redefine her life and live it—not the way it was meant to be, but the way she wanted to live it! She believed and said, "I deserve better." Just those 3 words gave her the power to rewrite her own story from a very young age. My friend, please welcome to your heart Saj Zafar, the founder of leaderHERship Academy and Institute of Change. Saj Zafar is a Psychologist, ex-Prison Governor, Leadership Coach, International Speaker, Author, and Certified Cultural Intelligent Facilitator. She recently featured in Metro under the title “I was stabbed in a racist attack aged 11 — now I fight for girls like me.” So now you know this is a real treat to kick off the year.
