Summary

"THESE MOUNTAINS THAT YOU ARE CARRYING YOU ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO CLIMB." - NAJWA ZEBIAN I started noticing Najwa's Instagram posts for months before I met her. Her voice and thoughts were so compelling, I felt like she was speaking the exact feelings of my heart. When I met her in Toronto to interview her, it was like meeting family. Najwa may have a completely different background than me, growing up in Lebanon and Canada as a Muslim woman, but she is so relateable that literally hundreds of thousands of people read her posts every day. I loved getting to know her story so much, I invited her to speak at the Summit of Greatness this year.
