“I grew up in a refugee camp in Lebanon. I had no human rights. I struggled with my sense of self. I doubted myself in every sense of the word. After trials and failures, I took charge and created my business, then dedicated myself to improving myself and my business and my story and teachings have changed lives. Now, I want to empower more people to reach their goals using my success story and what I’ve learned. The IGNITE Conference is an experience for attendees to learn, grow and engage with other entrepreneurs, business leaders and dreamers. By understanding other people’s stories, by connecting with the right people, by taking the time to learn something new, we IGNITE our lives and our businesses.” 

– Ferial Youakim
