Wessen Al-Shamary, biochemist-turned-motivational speaker who took to our screens on the recent series of the Shia Voice, walks us through her journey from a place self-doubt and low confidence, to speaking on stages and helping others break free from limitations, build confidence, and step into their power. She sheds light on some prevalent self-help concepts that have gained popularity over recent years, explaining the links between them and the Islamic tradition. She also shares the heartfelt story of her daughter regaining her vision after a visitation to Karbala during the annual Arba’een pilgrimage. Her journey proves that no matter where you start, change is possible.
