I’m really excited to share this interview. Sometimes someone tells you a story, that impacts you so deeply you feel like you have to find out more - earlier this year was one of those times, when I saw Manal Rostom speak.
Amongst other things, Manal is an athlete, Nike ambassador and the founder of Surviving Hijab, a supportive online community to empower women who cover.
She spoke of overcoming the tragic loss of a loved one, further committing to her faith and following her passion.
Her talk was during a fleeting window when we both in London before she returned home to Dubai, so I took the opportunity thank her in person for sharing her story.
She kindly agreed to be interviewed for Who's Next and when she was next in the UK a few months later we set up a Skype call to chat.
We speak about resilience, influence and swimming against the current to following your dreams.
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did, Manal has such energy and passion for change, it really is infectious.
