Be Courageous

It took a hard and challenging experience for me to book a one way flight to Alaska. The new dream only revealed itself after I had accomplished my current dream. I vividly remember telling my dear friend Cameron about my dream. I was excited and nervous. I shared with him that I wanted to go to space, that I felt it strongly even though I did not fully understand it. He told me that we were going to co host an inner and outer space themed dinner in Los Angeles. Cameron put me on the spot. He stopped everyone, made a toast, and in the middle of it said, 'Well, the reason why we're here today is because my friend Yasmine, who's also my co-host for this dinner, has an important announcement and dream she wants to share with all of you.' My heart stopped. I could not believe he was doing that. I thought, 'Oh my god.' But at the same time, as the fear came up, I realized this is the moment, this is the moment when we reveal our dreams, when we let the world know our dream and maybe they can help us. And I did. I courageously shared about my upbringing from Morocco to the 50 states, being in Alaska, and how we got here. I shared my dream, and it was a life-changing moment.
