OUGD602: Overcoming Obstacles | Maya Jama | TEDxYouth@ISA


Maya Jama is one of my personal role models. She is the embodiment of a strong and powerful woman and she's only 23. She had gone through family obstacles in her life but still continued with her television passion which developed into a career.

People always see the end credits and what people's lifes are like as they're successful. You hardly ever see the grind unless you look for talks like this. Maya talks about motivating herself and her personal life mixed with trying to get her dream career. She talks about her life being perfect at 16, with her "happy bubble" of her boyfriend and her career and she was in London but in an accident her boyfriend was killed and she realised life isn't fair.

I found second year really hard emotionally and listened to a few of these kind of talks and they always reiterate that the negative and harder times don't last forever they're temporary and hardships are a part of life. Always keep in vision the idea you had at the beginning no matter what happens through life.
