Resilience, Partnerships, and Prioritizing Yourself in 2025

As the year comes to a close, 2024 has been a powerful teacher for me—reminding me that resilience is built not just within, but also through the strength of those around you. Having strong partners by your side—those who lift you up during tough times, cheer you on in your successes, and fiercely protect your name when you’re not in the room—is invaluable.

This year taught me an important lesson: putting yourself first is not selfish—it’s necessary. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and prioritizing your well-being is key to showing up stronger for others.

I am incredibly grateful for every person who contributed to my journey this year. Whether through mentorship, friendship, or just a moment of kindness, you’ve helped me rise stronger. Thank you.

Reflections on 2024

Globally, 2024 has been a year of contrasts:

?? Resilience in Global Communities: From rebuilding efforts in disaster-hit regions to innovative solutions in climate resilience, the human spirit proved unshakable.

?? Technological Milestones: Quantum computing and AI reached new heights, redefining how we live and work. We yet to experience the diruption brought about by merging this two field which is sometime scary at times but also exciting.

?? Social Progress: Powerful movements advocating for equity and inclusion continued to inspire change.

These events remind me that no journey—individual or collective—is ever made alone. Resilience thrives in community, and progress depends on collaboration.

Moving Forward to 2025

As we step into 2025, let’s commit to being those strong partners for others—lifting, cheering, and protecting as we go. And most importantly, let’s continue to prioritize our well-being, knowing that self-care is the foundation for every success.

To everyone who played a part in my journey this year: Thank you for believing in me, opening doors, and being a source of strength. Together, we rise.
