A story no one forgets. A message everyone needs.
I deliver more than just a motivational speech. I deliver a living testimony of war, survival, faith and the unshakable human capacity to rise. Whether your audience is a boardroom, a congregation, a student assembly, or a stadium, my message lands the same way: deeply, personally, and permanently.

Speaking topics
Every keynote is drawn to my lived experience and tailored to your audience. Topics can be combined or customized for your event theme.
Possibilities beyond limitations — the core keynote: My signature talk. Using my journey from war-torn Iraq to American speaker and author, I dismantle the stories we tell ourselves about what’s possible and replace them with evidence that no roadblock is permanent. Audiences leave with a fundamentally different relationship to their own obstacles.
Resilience is not optional — leading through adversity: Built for corporate and leadership audiences. I draw from my experience navigating survival under impossible conditions to reframe resilience not as a personality trait but as a set of learnable, practicable decisions. Teams leave with concrete tools and an unforgettable illustration of what resilience actually looks like under pressure.
Walking in the shadow — a testimony of faith and survival: Based on my published memoir, this keynote is my most personal. I walk audiences through the moments of deepest darkness, and the faith that carried me through each one. Ideal for church services, Christian conferences, women’s retreats, and faith-based community events.
Your story is not over — a message for the next generation: Designed for students from middle school through university. I speak directly to young people about identity, purpose, and what it means to face something hard without letting it define you. Relatable, age-appropriate, and genuinely moving, students and teachers talk about this one for months afterward.
From refugee to purpose — the immigrant resilience story: A powerful keynote for diversity, equity, and inclusion events, corporate, nonprofit, or community-based. This is my journey as a refugee and immigrant to America offering a perspective that broadens every room’s understanding of resilience, belonging, and the extraordinary contributions of people who have rebuilt their lives from nothing.
Who I speak to?
My story crosses every boundary. These are the audiences I regularly serve.
What people say:
“You walked in that room and gave every woman there permission to remember who she is. That’s a gift and it’s uniquely yours. The way you shared your story…I watched women lean in. They needed to hear it. YOU needed to say it. That’s not a coincidence. So grateful you were there.” Sheri Brasier, Style by Sheri Brasier.
“Absolutely awesome! Her story is incredible and awe-inspiring.” Sally Anier, Faith Bible Chapel
