I was honored to speak during the first-ever Asian American Pakistani Heritage celebration in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on May 12, 2018. The theme was “Celebrating Women in Strength and
Diversity.”
During the celebration, I discussed the strengths, struggles and successes of women and
highlighted one special woman in particular.
I also shared the following lessons learned by strong and successful women:
1. Know that you are loved, appreciated and valued
2. Do not allow others to define you
3. Allow your haters to be your motivators
4. Remember that other people’s opinions of you are NOT your business
5. Surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you
6. Feed the “pretenders” with a long-handled spoon
7. Work hard to achieve your goals
8. Define “success” for yourself
9. Fall down and get right back up
10. Remember your #BlackGirlMagic #BrownGirlMagic #GirlMagic
