We’re done with allowing fear to dictate our lives and keep us from truly living out our dreams.
In Ep.7 of Season 2, we talk to Malika Bilal about how we can look our fears straight in the eye, and conquer them.
When it came to choosing a career, Malika didn’t allow her fears to sway her decision. And yes, she deals with the unknown and the mental chatter in her head from time to time- but Malika explains how she’s able to move past these obstacles.
As a black-Muslim-female journalist, Malika is a walking billboard of all her identities. She explains to us how she’s using her platform both on social media and through her work at Aljazeera’s AJ+, to debunk any false information and squash any stereotypes.
As an on-air journalist with a flourishing social media account, it's hard to picture Malika as someone who is reserved. But as a self-proclaimed introvert, Malika lets us into her world and opens about her struggle with balancing a successful career. Yes, you can be an introverted person in the media, and yes - we exist!
Malika is a force to be reckoned with, and we’re so grateful for the many women who have dedicated their lives to fighting for knowledge and uncovering the truth.
