Bushra Amiwala Speaking Topics
In this popular talk, Bushra shares her approach in unpacking the unconscious bias, microaggressions, tokenism, and how all of us can tackle these concepts in our daily lives. Coupled with a bit of humor, Bushra shares her personal experiences and brings it back with high level concepts and actionable lessons.
When she chose to run for office at barely 19, empowering a youth voice was a foreign concept. Hear from Bushra about tangible ways one can become an “everyday leader” and influence their own networks. She shares lessons learned as a young person breaking into politics, rooted around mentorship, networking and not being afraid to ask for things.
Running for office as a Muslim woman, Bushra found her messages – like those of many other women – to be lost and diminished to her clothing and apperance. She went above and beyond to ensure her platform was the core of her campaign, not her identity, and she shares how we can all continue to support women in politics in this regard.
Bushra ran for office, clearly seeing gap in her formal qualifications and age – and she did so in spite of her insecurities. Hear the deep impacts of insecurity and imposter syndrome – not just the ways it can show up in your life by how to identify it and overcome it.
We all hold within us the capacity to become involved and lead – and we do not have the time to wait to be asked to do so. In this talk, Bushra addresses the stigma that leadership is something thought of as larger than ourselves, helping participants find their own voice.

Bushra Amiwala Reviews

I was so inspired by Bushra. She walked on stage, put her speech down, and spoke from her heart. She is so funny, authentic and relatable and I wish I brought my 14 and 16 year old daughters to see her! Bushra is the story of an everyday person, with good wit and good will, who is doing extraordinary things. Wishing her well and requested her to speak at our Conference in March!
The Chi Youth Summit - Oct 17 2019 -
I heard Bushra speak at the Indivisible Chicago Summit, and let me tell you, this woman is going places! So poised, confident, and I am not sure if she knows this, but she is absolutely hilarious. So engaging to listen to and I was very impressed by Bushra. I hope to see more of her, and hope she continues to stay engaged and involved as I know her story has already inspired many. Keep shining Amiwala!
