Dr. Alaa Murabit’s remarkable journey—from founding The Voice of Libyan Women during the Arab Spring to becoming a global leader in health, equity, and sustainable development—is a testament to her belief in radical resilience. In this episode, Dr. Murabit reflects on the values that shaped her career, the challenges of advocating for women’s leadership in global systems, and the transformative power of faith and community.


With practical insights drawn from her groundbreaking TED Talk and her role at the Gates Foundation, Dr. Murabit discusses why resilience requires reimagining not just our systems but also our stories. “You can’t fix the world without fixing health and climate,” she reminds us, offering actionable advice for creating lasting impact in our communities.
