Bio
Ally Salama علي سلامة
In the 12 Months Maryam volunteered at EMPWR, writing for the team's editorials, she displayed incredible leadership and initiative in leading and executing various ideas from A to Z. As outspoken as Maryam is, her ability to navigate team dynamics using a high degree of emotional intelligence led her to become an invaluable member and voice for EMPWR's editorial team of 6. Maryam's work-ethic is undeniably great and I believe that she has the capabilities to impact the world pushing the needle forward towards the change she aims to make in tomorrow's future for our Youth. As someone who's worked directly with Maryam, one point worth mentioning - beyond her professional capabilities - is that she is a caring person who feels deeply for others. What amazes me is that as a professional she is able to navigate around her emotions superbly, channelling their intensity into direct & impactful action; and that is a quality I have yet to see from more than a handful of individual youth leaders. All in all, Maryam is an artist and a change-maker at heart, who, when given a mission, can lead, champion and execute all objectives given. It was a pleasure working with you Maryam. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours. Ally Salama
