What the Empowering Greatness Scholarship Means to Zaynab
“Count your blessings”. We are going through a very tough time right now. A lot is going on in the world and here at home in the US. It is easy to feel frustrated and upset, and it is valid. But it is important to count our blessings. I am so thankful and blessed to have received this scholarship, for me it is a ray of sunshine and a door to new opportunities and beginnings. I am extremely grateful to the Farah and Farah team and so blessed to have supportive family and friends who are always cheering me on!
