Celebrating Ramadan and the Voices of Muslim Women

Celebrating Ramadan and the Voices of Muslim Women

In celebration of Ramadan this month, I am joined by two Pretty Powerful Women, Amena Wardak and Naheed Sears in this episode. Sharing the voices of today’s Muslim women, we talked about their personal stories and journey of embracing cultural heritage, their experiences with Ramadan and how non-Muslims can celebrate with them.   Ready to take your storytelling and speaking style to the next level?

Embracing Autism with Love

In celebration of World Autism Awareness Day (April 2) and kicking off April as Autism awareness month, I’m joined by two amazing guests in this episode of the Pretty Powerful Woman podcast. Erin Baute, based in US, as the mother of a beautiful and neurodivergent daughter; and Slava Gayko, based in Germany, who uncovered her own autistic journey along with her brilliant son, Vincent, with autism.   Today’s stories are about autism, and also about the mothers’ love. I hope their stories from different sides of the world can bring together a new perspective for you when it comes to autism and neurodivergent, or make you feel less alone.   Erin Baute is the owner of Living the Enneagramm and advocate for equitable opportunity for healing and growth through Enneagram for all individuals.

Standing Strong after Afghanistan

In this episode of the Pretty Powerful Woman Podcast, I’m honored to share the powerful story of Fatima Haidari with you. This interview took place shortly after she was forced to flee the country when the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021. Growing up in the Taliban era when her mother had to pretend there wasn’t even a baby girl born in their home, Fatima shared her inspiring journey from shepherd girl to Afghanistan’s first female tour guide with us in this episode. She also detailed her experience of escaping from Taliban and how she is now going forward as a changer, not a victim. I hope Fatima’s story inspire you to believe in the power of your own dreams. This is how we connect with each other. Sharing these important moments, no matter how difficult, creates connections between people all over the world. If you’re ready to share your story I would love to chat with you. Send me a message on Instagram: @prettypowerfulwoman or email me: hello@keriyang.com

Becoming the Voice of Today’s Pretty Powerful Woman

Welcome to the first episode of The Pretty Powerful Woman Podcast! I’m so excited to share my story and my heart with you. In this episode, I’ll be sharing my story and how I overcame challenges to become the professional and speaker I am today.    An important part of my early story is that when I was a young professional, I thought I had to fit a certain mold to be taken seriously in my industry. But after really embracing my whole self, I made more connections and realized that my story had weight and power because of who I am, not in spite of who I am.   We all have a powerful speaker inside. And that's just what my mission is with this podcast. Every week you get to have a look into the lives of everyday people like you and me to hear the ups and downs of life. I hope this helps you see the beauty of being uniquely you and the power of how our stories connect us.   You're also going to learn how to really find your voice and claim your space in this world to stem boldly into your spotlight and constantly speak with passion, love, and conviction because you are your own best spokesperson. And your story is your secret weapon.    Ready to take your speaking style to the next level? Let’s work together! Connect on IG: @prettypowerfulwoman Email: hello@keriyang.com
