  2. Thank you, viewers did that. That's amazing. How do you keep yourself restored doing this? I mean, I used to find this with the Oprah Show that... Every day you're talking to people who come from very difficult circumstances that the energy of that sometimes would feel like that I'd be covered in that energy and I had to work to keep a balance of not taking in everybody else's. You know, energy. What do you do? I know you meditate.

  4. Stop judging yourself Christian Northrop was saying do the same thing, look in the mirror, and say to yourself for 30 days, I love you and see how you feel and really look deep into your own essence. Something else shows up

  5. But you had to learn yourself. I mean, I look at you, I see a beautiful woman. It took you a while before you could look at yourself and see a beautiful woman. Taught yourself to see your own beauty. How did you do that?

  7. I think most people don't even think about that. You think, oh, there's this war going on in Iraq and that's all that's happening in Iraq. But while that's happening, there are mothers feeding their children and trying to send their children to school and people still going to work every day and life going on.

  8. One of the things that you acknowledge is that there are two sides of war. There's the bombing and there's the obvious violence and there's that that we see and is reported on the news. And then there's the other side of that, which usually involves women and children. It's the woman baking bread in Gaza.

  10. When Yeah. You know, I used to say that to our viewers. During the many years of the Oprah Show, and I would show child abuse, I would show graphic images of domestic violence or something. I'd say, and now you can never pretend that you didn't see it. You can go on and make your dinner this evening. You can go shopping. You can do whatever, but you cannot pretend that you didn't see it because now that has entered your consciousness. And the question is, what will you do?

  11. So, did something happen in particular around 23 that you said, this is it? I'm now going to go and save women of the world.

  12. This is just remarkable. I hear these stories. You know, you're a young girl, you're 20 years old. You say, I'm going to build my life. You have $400. You're in the United States. And you're going to build your life out of nothing? Do you think that's an inherent thing that there are some women who say I'm going to build my life out of nothing? Then there are some women who say there's nothing I can do.

  13. Zainib grew up in Baghdad under the shadow of Saddam Hussein father's job as the brutal dictator's pilot drew the family into Saddam's inner circle, a dangerous place for a young woman.

  15. You own it. Absolutely. And do you find, because you have talked to hundreds and hundreds of women throughout the world who have been broken and torn apart physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually through war? Do you find, though, that when they're able to just release a little bit of that story that the healing starts because the story, the holding of the shame, the holding of the story and not being able to share the story is what continues to kill you inside.

  16. And also, it allows what you talk, what we also know is true. Brene talks about this a lot too. When you are allowed to break your silence, you become vulnerable in a way that actually makes you more powerful.

  17. During her childhood, Zaineb's father, Tariq, worked for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein as his personal pilot. Her family lived in a constant state of fear, having heard horror stories of Iraqis being sent to prison, enduring torture, and even death for any perceived misstep. In her powerful memoir Between Two Worlds, Zainep says that even thinking was dangerous, so she learned to shut off her mind and suppress her true feelings in order to survive.

  19. Humanitarian Zainib Solby for decades she's helped women in war torn countries stand in their truth. Zainip was first called to action at the age of twenty three. It was the early nineties during the Bosnia and Croatia conflict when Zainib read about a massive number of rapes in that region.
