TFZR009- Munira Zuhabi- "The Niche Navigator"
Munira Zahabi was born in Kenya, Africa. She found her love of learning through her mother, who was stricken with asthma during childhood, and never received an education past the second grade. Growing up, her mother would study her text books and learn beside her -- oftentimes leaving Munira with thoughts of what her mother could have been, if life hadn’t dealt her the hand, that it had dealt.
Asthma was an unknown condition back in that time -- the doctor’s in Kenya thought people could be contagious so they banned those children with it from attending school. Munira lost her mother very young. By the time her father remarried, the stepmother determined that it was time that Munira got married off to a 33 year-old suitor from Tanzania.
She was only 15 at that time. Just like that, her life changed forever and by the time she was 24 -- she had four kids. Munira has always felt that her youth was stolen from her -- something that fuels her to this day. Having to throw away her scholarship to Cambridge University in London, Munira stayed determined to learn as much as she could - always reminding herself that learning was a gift as well as helping others. Two qualities her mother instilled in her before her early departure.
She took to the local library and consumed as much knowledge as she could. But the roles mounted quickly -- wife, sister-in-law, mother, and citizen of a new country. She found solace in observing her grandmother. Although the woman lost her husband early-on and struggled with it, she never cursed her journey because she had unwavering faith in God.
She chose to be happy in spite of it all. To Munira, those lessons shown to her by her grandmother became the foundation of the woman she has become. In 1995, Bill Clinton had opened an initiative to allow immigrants from third world countries to come to the United States to live and work. While working as a school teacher in Tanzania, Munira learned of this opportunity from a co-worker. Taking it to her husband, he told her that he would help but had no intention of going. After filling out all 17 different applications -- low and behold, Murina was accepted to come to the United States.
Her husband kept his promise and didn’t want to go but didn’t try to stop her from going either. Even her aunt offered to give Munira her entire inheritance if she were to stay. But it was not enough for her. Her youth had already been stolen years ago, now it was time to build a better life for her and her kids. Munira ended up arriving in Bakersfield, California on June 28th, 1995. The rest has been history. Now a John C. Maxwell certified coach, she helps other coaches find their niches to make them riches.
As the niche navigator, her goal is to help 5000 more people find success through her self-developed, 3-step toolkit, within the next 5 years. -
Step 1: Is what you’re doing right now bringing you happiness? -
Step 2: If not, then figure out what you’d like to do that would bring you happiness. -
Step 3: Then ask yourself, can you do it everyday?
Munira is an incredible human being who has overcome so much adversity to love the woman she is today. It was an incredible honor having her on this episode of Task Force Zen. We look forward to continuing to leverage her talent to help our AHOs succeed too.
