Let's just say that I am beginning a new journey: a journey of respecting myself.
This is a story about SALIMAH, but since this is my personal blog, I want to tell it from my own perspective.
I am learning to respect myself by becoming braver, more beautiful, smarter, and humbler in leadership.
One of my biggest dreams is to travel around the world, build connections, and create meaningful friendships with women from different countries and cultures. Hehehe! What a beautiful dream, isn't it?
Today, my SALIMAH community (Persaudaraan Muslimah) chose me to take on a leadership role in Fakfak.
This happened because my dear sister in faith, Mba Dewi, is moving back to her hometown, Jayapura. She has been part of this journey, and now I have the opportunity to continue the leadership she has carried.
Honestly, I see this not simply as a new position or responsibility. I see it as a new chapter in my personal growth.
I want to use this journey to learn how to love and respect myself, discover my potential, and become a woman whose presence brings meaning and positive impact to others.
I want to grow as a leader who is brave enough to make decisions, smart enough to keep learning, humble enough to listen, and beautiful not only in appearance but also in character.
I want to contribute to women, children, and families.
Perhaps one day, this little journey in Fakfak will open doors for me to connect with women around the world.
But for now, I want to start where I am, with what I have, and with the people around me.
This is not about proving that I am better than anyone else.
This is about discovering how much I can grow when I finally give myself permission to try.
Welcome to my journey of respecting myself.
One step at a time. One connection at a time. One meaningful impact at a time.
