An Ambassador Of Hope: With TEDx Speaker Irma Goosen

She Grabs The Mic

Have you ever faced something so challenging you thought it just might break you? If so, know this. You are not alone. This week, we’re talking with a woman who faced that level of challenge, rose, rooted in hope, and dedicated her life to empowering others.

Meet Irma Goosen, an immigrant success advocate, TEDx speaker, engineer, author, Mom, and a champion for immigration reform. She is a fiercely kind and accomplished woman who crushed fear and created her best life after legally immigrating- not once, but twice.
Irma draws from her personal experience to empower other people taking the same journey. Her goals are to create a more inclusive, accepting, and compassionate world where every person can thrive, no matter where they are born.
Irma sheds new light on legal immigration as she talks about the experience of children who immigrate with their families. She shares the 'why' for her work with women who have immigrated and the ways support, empowerment, and love change their lives and our world.
Most importantly, Irma shares the beautiful possibilities that are here for us to realize by embracing our new 'super culture' as we live alongside people from all over the world.
You will learn:
Irma's powerful story of fearfully living in South Africa with a gun by her side surviving day by day.
Her hope of being accepted as she courageously boarded an airplane bound for the U.S. with two suitcases and her baby girl.
How shifting her mindset was essential in moving from fear to courage and the hope that powers her life.
Irma's three micro-coaching tips to live your life with more courage and hope.
As we get ready to celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th, I am beyond grateful that this amazing woman joined She Grabs The Mic to share her inspiring story.
To all of my sisters around the world, this one's for you. I'm sending you BIG love! ❤️
