Jamila Rizvi // Untold Resilience

Published: Dec. 3, 2020, 12:32 a.m.

b"It's been a hell of year for us all and something I\\u2019ve reflected on a lot over the past few months is resilience. And who better to join us to explore that further than the wonderful Jamila Rizvi who not only embodies the concept herself but has just published Untold Resilience \\u2013 a collection of nineteen awe-inspiring stories of resilient women and the lessons they have for us in navigating this crazy time.\\n\\nIt says something about Jamila though that my favourite of the stories is hers \\u2013 one that has so many facets that I was quite nervous about this episode, wanting to do her justice. You may know her as an author, presenter and political commentator or Editor-at-Large of Future Women and former editor in Chief at Mamamia, but she\\u2019s also a mother, modern feminist, and Harry Potter lover who juggles it all while managing chronic illness and several brain surgeries over the past few years.\\n\\nJamila is endearingly witty, articulate, honest and humble taking us through her health journey, the work we still need to do on supporting women returning to work post motherhood, her changing relationship to success and happiness, and so much more. I hope you are as inspired by her as I am.\\n\\n+ Follow Jamila Rizvi here\\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\\n+ Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!\\n\\n>>> JOIN THE SEIZE THE YAY FB GROUP <<<"
