When asked what leadership meant to her, Zainab responded:
“Leadership is largely about awareness: it’s about being aware of yourself, the power dynamics involved with those who work alongside you, their limitations and expectations, and the collective vision you’re all working towards. It’s not about being the tip of the spear in any project or action, it’s about helping that spear gain momentum, facilitating the movement and respecting those who work with you by supporting them and representing them.”If you haven’t yet, let us know if there is a woman in your life that deserves to be recognized at McGill! Each week MWIL strives to shine the spotlight on an inspiring lady who embodies all the values that MWIL is dedicated to promoting among young women. We believe that their interpretations of leadership and role-model behaviour are empowering examples of the talent, confidence, and sheer determination, of which every woman is capable.
