First Lady Michelle Obama’s groundbreaking address at the Democratic National Convention sets the tone for female empowerment throughout the world. We look at past issues of MOJEH to seek out other inspirational women who have contributed towards society.
No Limits
In MOJEH Issue 33 we spoke to the youngest Arab and first Saudi woman to climb Mount Everest, Raha Moharrak. She has single-handedly broken gender and cultural barriers in an inspirational feat to pursue her dreams.
“There were days when I woke up thinking, ‘What am I doing here? I’m tired, I’m stinky, I’m hungry.’ But, every single time I felt a little bit down, I reminded myself that I’m climbing this mountain. How lucky am I? How am I sitting here complaining about being a little bit stinky, hungry and cold, when there are women who don’t even get a chance to leave their houses or to ride a bike or to do something as simple as following their dreams?” Raha Moharrak
