Gentle Emergence. Connect to yourself and uncover your story.

Join us for this 1-hour workshop and learn how to connect with your story and gently let it emerge. Develop the skill of storytelling and build a narrative that represents who you are and complements your growth.  

"We are the creators and curators of our story. We all have the ability to shape, mould and design our story in a way we feel dignified and proud."

Mariam Issa is a storyteller and her passion lies in supporting women to connect and transform their story. She comes from an oral culture that uses stories to educate, celebrate and settle disputes. She shares the power of expression, exploration and integration of a story before it can be transformed into a new phase. Join us and connect with your story.

Speaker, Author, Storyteller, Community Builder.

At age 30, Mariam Issa moved to a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, from her Somali homeland with her husband, four children and a fifth on the way. Far away from the tight communities and families in Somalia, Mariam found herself in a foreign country that had a foreign language and a foreign culture.

Through her powerful stories that tell her trials and tribulations, she has inspired countless women who have had similar experiences to stop seeing themselves as victims but to see the butterfly within in order to achieve their fullest potential. Mariam, the co-founder and president of RAW – Resilient Aspiring Women, believes that nurturing, mentoring and believing in the power of all individuals, forms the collective strength of a community.
