How To Own And Use Your Voice - Reema Zaman

The Better Questions

“The only people who ever say ‘Who do you think you are?' are projecting their own insecurity. Their sense of self has become reliant on you keeping yourself small. Where do we wish to place our loyalty — on other people’s comfort levels, or on our greater potential?"
