Naima B. Robert – Join the Claim Your Voice Writing Challenge

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

Assalamu Alaikum and greetings.

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

My name is Naima B Robert

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

and I am here

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

to challenge you.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

Yes you.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

I am here to challenge you to claim

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

your voice.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

Now more than ever,

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

the world needs to hear from you. The

00:00:21 --> 00:00:25

world needs your unique voice, your unique message,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

your unique story. And I don't care whether

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

you consider yourself a writer, whether you consider

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

yourself somebody who's not creative or who doesn't

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

have the skill. None of that is important

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

to me. What I'm asking you to do

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

woman to woman

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

is to claim your voice, to step into

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

your power

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

and claim the written word as your own.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

And how we're gonna do that is from

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

the 8th to 18th April,

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

we are challenging

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

women from around the world to claim their

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

voice and commit to writing

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

every day for 10 days. Now I know

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

one of the things that people always tell

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

me is I don't have time to write.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

Oh, the kids work, study and all of

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

that. But guess what?

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

The best thing about this challenge

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

is that I'm asking you to write for

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

10 minutes a day.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

Just 10 minutes a day

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

for 10 days.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

I will be with you,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

coaching you, supporting you, mentoring you, inspiring you,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

keeping you on track

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

because I know

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

that if you are able to complete this

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

challenge, which I know you will,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

you will see a new side of yourself

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

coming out. You will prove something to yourself

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

and you will be part of a movement.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

This is a movement.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

This is about you claiming your voice

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

and amplifying your voice in a world that

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

needs to hear it.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

I hope that you will join in this

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

challenge. I hope you will share this video.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

your name down

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

I know this is gonna be a game

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

changer for you and the other thousands of

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

women who will be joining us from all

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
