I Don't Care About Being Remembered | Kenzy Omar | كنزي عمر

Kenzy Omar is as human as they come. She’s a woman who chooses to break out of the boxes society places her in and pushes back against the expectation to only move in the confines of those boxes. She’s a young woman who’s trying everything and finding herself in the process. She’s passionate about healthcare and loves creating value and bringing impact to every person she interacts with. She believes that her calling in life is to help people. And she navigates life with that as a living philosophy.

She talks about:

🟦 Identity and how people perceive themselves and others

🟦 How we confine ourselves to the labels other place on us

🟦 What it’s like being a medical student - the peaks and troughs

🟦 How we are all our Nth project, making our growth a priority

🟦 The contrast life and death does for us

🟦 How life is about the impact you leave, not needing to be remembered
