Ep009: Layla Saad's Changemaker Journey with Layla Saad & Reema Zaman
“Faith is the right word. Because I’m very much a faith-led person and leader. And that’s how I show up. So I recognise, for me, my beliefs are that it’s important for us to show up for the work. And it’s also equally important for us not to think that only we know everything of what it’s going to look like. And I think it’s so important to leave moments open for spontaneity, for miracles for things that are you know, opportunities, luck, grace, things that we can’t engineer or predict.”
