Huda Saleh of Blushes and Butterflies
Today we select Huda Saleh to be our Wednesday Woman to be an inspiration to other women based on a piece that she wrote on our website called, Random Thoughts|What Makes Me Different From Other Women {Part 11}
The journey of finding myself will never be over, but I am proud to say that as a minority woman, my values, dedication, beliefs, words, and actions are anything but minor. The journey will continue to be tough and work in progress, but no one said it was going to be easy because the journeys worth taking never are. I dream dreams, and I’m ready to pay the price to make them come true. Because I know who I am. I know what I want. And I know what I have to do to make a positive impact in this world that so desperately needs all the happiness and positivity it can get.
I am a walking story. A story that has no conclusion, only a “to be continued.” A story that I will not allow other people to write for me. A story that I will no longer apologize for the edits I choose to make to it. I am a strong, beautiful, resilient, and confident Arab American woman who wears the hijab, and I proudly own everything that I represent in my life and everything my life has come to represent. That is what makes me different. So to all the women of the world, be as you’ve always been. Be you. Be confident. Be beautiful. Be true to who you are and what you stand for. Be a walking personification of your dreams and aspirations. And most importantly, be a story worth telling. You never know when someone else can you use it to help them write their own.”
