W2W

Hi everyone!

My name is Reem Al Mealla and I am from Bahrain. I was one of the lucky participants that got the wonderful oppourtunity to join the Women to Women conference this year. The conference was indeed on of the best conferences I've been to where I've not only learnt alot but made a lot of friends, painted new dreams, learnt about other countries and added new countries to my must visit list.

We got to meet amazing women leaders in different fields starting from politics going on to journalism, the media and the enviornment. each of us got to meet an amazing woman from the field we are specifically intrested in. we got to ask our questions and get it answered directly and in the most benifiting way. After ever talk and speech I've heard and every little mini course that I've attended I was filled with inspiration and was ready to do whatever I can to promote change and spread empower peace!

I've learnt 4 things that I'll always carry with me for the rest of my life which I'd like to share with you, whoever is reading this whether you attended the W2W conference or not.

1. It's all about time - everything takes time and it may be very slow to happen but it takes time and we must be patient.

2. It's about it - after waiting for so long something is bound to happen cos it's just about it nothing can go on for ever even the wait must end some time.

3. NO! - say no when your plate is too full and you feel like you can't do something cos you've already got loads to do and you're dead drop exhausted.

last but definitely not the least

4. embrace who you are - " I was born a jewish, an american and a woman. I didn't choose this, it wasn't my choic3e but I was born like this, god decided this is what I should be and I can't run away from it instead I embrace it" - Victoria Budson.

Thanks for reading and be safe!
