In this captivating episode of "Beyond Borders," host Khadijah Safari delves into the remarkable journey of Khalila Lister, a woman who defied the odds stacked against her. From being silenced in her childhood to becoming a beacon of empowerment for women worldwide, Khalila's story is one of resilience, courage, and unwavering determination, which lead her to build her own business offering the first Public Speaking Academy in the World for Muslim women.

However, Khalila refused to succumb to the limitations imposed upon her. Despite the trials she endured, she emerged as a formidable force, shattering stereotypes and proving wrong those who doubted her potential. Today, she stands as the visionary founder of the world's only public speaking academy for women—a testament to her unwavering commitment to empowering others to find their voices and reclaim their narratives.
Join Khadijah and Khalila as they explore the transformative power of resilience, the journey from victimhood to victory, and the profound impact of owning one's truth.
