smelly man Rahim good morning everyone
again this is a great pleasure for me to
be a monk you today and share with you
so and share with you my journey which
was not possible without my great team
who are involved and especially my
assistants real end of the day so being
an American woman and being a part of
the golden years of United Arab Emirates
I consider myself so lucky I cannot say
that we as an Emirati women we are
smarter or brighter or more pretty than
any other woman in the region but
confidently I can say that we are
luckier we are lucky because we have a
great leaders who believes in women and
he literally made sure every leader or
whoever planning anything in this run
and yet project they also believe in
that and they make sure that they have
gave a woman a quite equal chance to
show herself and to contribute
effectively in the development of the
in the field of genetics if he will go
through my career and my career
development he will notice that I’ve
been in more than one position mainly
related to human development area in
health care or in community development
and those opportunity was given to me
and I was I can say that I was not asked
if I would like to take those posts or
not but again I believe in the big
powerful man and when allah Saffiano
Italian and something for us we believe
that it is the best and believe me that
what I realize in the end of my journey
in each position and when we talk about
metric today we talked about the gene we
talked about different things again we
go back to a very particular journey
within ourself is your genetics is your
DNA which you grant from your parents
and again with the luck and the weight
of a lot it depends which part of that
you talk it over and in the in the early
talk with my dear colleague mr. Bhanu I
would like to say something related to
genetics and women as a woman I’m so so
happy to be a woman believe me and we
are so lucky to be a woman we are the
main reason of humanity to be continued
we have to have confident than that and
when we see a boy who’s smart enough to
compete with a calculator that simply
goes back to his X chromosome and you
know the Gina the genetics and the
chromosome parts which responsible of
human intelligence is located
X chromosome so if the boy is a smart
99.9% all the crooked all the credit
goes back to his mother and her father
he’s there to take care of both of them
so at the woman we are born to be
special we are born to be smart we are
going to be responsible of whole
humanity because of that I as humanity
woman my name is Miriam Helmick for my
mother and you can if you know that
usually in our country woman’s mother a
woman’s name always will be followed
with all those gentlemen who were the
reason of her excess so my name is
Miriam my father’s name is hemant my
grandfather his name is mother and one
of the things which I come early back to
tooth in 2000 when I graduated from
Medical College I drove my plant in 2050
and one of the climb which I would like
to achieve where I will have where I
will start lobbying and I already
started to in 2000 not being that very
soon and United Arab Emirates when a
woman’s or male name officially would be
mentioned in any official document the
hill name would be his mother name and
because of that always if you will come
and visit my office my name of the table
is million payment for my mother I make
I would like to have a humble request
from all of you if you start signing a
book or you are allowed to put your name
on your table on your disk or have a
social media name please
Brad try to remember this lovely woman
who made sure that you carry a good gene
which will help you to maintain a good
humanity throughout the coming JV of
human being
so please next time will you introduce
yourself don’t forget to mention your
mother name if it is not the second make
sure it is the first if it’s as possible
so going back to genetics in 2000 when I
graduated from the Medical College
from the body Medical College I had my
rotation in Latifa Hospital particularly
a very senior center and during those
rotation I used to see the blame and
suffering and the guilt feeling which
shared between both parents when they
see their child coming every three weeks
for a blood transfusion and every 12
hour per day a whole machine is on his
tummy to help him to callate extra iron
overload in his body I went back home
and I searched about this particular
disease and at that time Cyprus were
celebrating 11 years with no single
child was born with thalassemia they had
no magic stick simply what they had they
had a very constructive enforcement of a
law which doesn’t allow to carry out the
disease to get married and the church
would not approve that marriage and in
the end of the day if they insist to go
ahead with this
relation the government will not be
responsible or the government will not
pay from their lips money to cure their
children so from that time people will
having a healthier generation and a more
stable community I went back to the
hospital
and I went to the most senior person in
the hospital with two-page summary of my
plan in my lovely country and I do
remember till today is uncertain me
Marion you just graduate from medical
college leave this task for the ministry
leave this task for the people who are
on the chair and they would make sure
this slow will be in a place I went back
home and like every day I was not so
much heavy my mother she told me Marion
what’s wrong with you today
I told her mom why this might happen I
want to do a change but I’m looking
forward to graduate from my medical
college and be someone one day where I
can contribute Imogen my lovely mother
she’s illiterate
she cannot write and read she came back
after half an hour telling me a momma
Marion here in Dubai as you know on
Friday we in our neighborhood from 9:00
to 11:00
woman they gathered for gossiping and
sharing canoe recipes of food so my
mother she asked me mama this time what
about this Friday are calling our
neighbour who their son is getting
married to our other neighbor daughter
let them come over and try to explain to
them how important it is to be screened
and to give
some more knowledge about this step so
we started on Friday and from that day
imagine from my mother from our house
then from the neighbor then I started to
be called over and different
organization to talk about a common
genetic disorders of heresy Mia and I
love one of my clan was to become a
plastic surgeon I love myself
I love beauty my my nightmare is the
wrinkle around my eyes and unfortunately
I have to change my major simply to be
able to go in the morning in one of the
community tailoring and in the afternoon
to go and have my duty in one of the
primary health care clinic and United
Arab Emirates imagine because of that
small support from my mother an idea
from her very soon
Amanda we started at in 2000 and in 2004
I started the whole campaign called you
aft sarracenia 2012 and the whole
mission and the objective of this
campaign was to enforce an advocate for
a loan which obligatory will force
anybody who’s willing to get married in
my country to be screened for most
common genetic disorder in this country
as well as to be tailor-made according
to their family history and by March
2006 hello were approved by the Cabinet
so that symmetric that symmetric which
happen only United Arab Emirates and
from there I was no need to take another
step forward to improve the quality of
the new generation of United Arab
Emirates and when I see a generation of
United Arab Emirates I mean both he
morality and nany Marathi people who is
helping us to develop our country we
care about their children and I hope
most of you will know if not I would
like to share with you another fact
which my government is doing it has a
very simple way to thank all of you for
what you are doing in this man I don’t
know if you know or not
that anybody who is born in the land of
United Arab Emirates they would be
provided screening for five common
genetic disorder which will help your
children if we diagnose them early
enough to have a healthier life and you
are not paying for that additional to
that any child will be enrolled in great
one in United Arab Emirates they will be
screened for one of the most common
genetic disorder which might impair the
curve indication and performance of the
boy in particular additional to that and
in college student who will be admitted
in any university United Arab Emirates
they will be screened for three common
genetic disorder unless they would not
have admission that’s all done for all
of your children and generation and
simply because of the systems and
because of these laws which are in place
we look forward by
thousand 23 to have a new newborn
generation of United Arab Emirates with
a better quality of gene and immediately
I was given another chance as a first in
Marathi woman at that time I was only 27
years old where I became the first
American woman to take the post of
undersecretary for public health and
primary health care and while I was the
single woman among a very senior in
Marathi gentleman who really were the
great help for me to progress well and
to be able to give back to this lovely
allow me to share with you some of my
strengths which I believe it’s one of
the strengths which any one of you can
acquired and admitted to his life during
his journey throughout a career
development or a family in any way of
your life development so it goes back
the way I see myself even when I am in a
stage I don’t see myself a woman or a
thrifty lady do you agree yes with a
bright cutter I always imagined myself
as a drop of water and I mean that
literally
drop water has a huge characteristic
which makes it really the most essential
particle in the slide and this planet
for any human life any life to be
existing as a drop of water I tried to
make myself transparent enough for the
person who was in front of me and that
transparency depend on the level of the
communication or the subject which we
are talking about and at the same time
if I am working within a team I’ll make
sure that I am flexible enough to be
around the team regardless of their
personality regardless of their approach
but at least to be flexible enough to be
surrounded with those team or I surround
myself with him
and at the same time if we go back to a
drop of water I always remember that
even if I’ll fall down in any step of my
life like a drop of water one day it
will evaporate and go back to the sky
and have a lovely cloud somewhere where
I’ll make sure I start something else
somewhere in another place again will if
you go back to a drop of water drop of
water as you know and we here earlier
about the vibe
about the energy and I’m sure most of
your understand and value how water is
really strong and for any vibration of
any energy month you need the water to
maintain the energy as sustainable
source of empowering any particular
machine for a human being of even a
structure which is existing in this
planet as a drop of hold her I make sure
that when I got married before by the
way I’m so lucky again to be to be
surrounded by smart gentlemen I mean
gentlemen not a male as you know there
is a male mosquito and a male donkey and
a male human being and there is a lot of
human being who are in a shape of a male
but not necessarily to be a gentleman
and we and me I’m lucky enough to be
surrounded with a ring and gentlemen
starting from my leader from my father
and from my health and living for my
husband I was lucky enough to have him
as my partner and probably say my
husband is number 27 of my proposal
fiance don’t people who plan came
forward to propose for me and I’ll tell
you he takes all the credit for all the
26 people who came earlier simply
because they had to condition for
whoever is planning to get married with
me and to be latina is he need to write
in the marriage
he needs to accept to write in the
marriage contract that he is not allowed
to stop me from continuing my study and
he’s not allowed to stop me from
continuing my career
imagine all the 26 male they refuse to
do that as a documentation but they
would keep it as a promise and as you
know we have too many male who saved the
promise and they never keep it and this
gentleman who happen to be who happened
to be my lovely husband his name is
Karim and he is a great guy he is the
best first the best gentleman after my
father and it was lucky enough to get
him on board
so he’s the one who really helped me to
believe in male and to respect a male
human being even if he is not a
gentleman so that goes back to the shape
and Rockwater when Ellie was still in my
parents house the whole approach was
different
I cannot say right and wrong but when I
got married to this lovely guy the real
gentleman
I had to reshape myself it was not easy
but always imagining myself as a drop of
water I used to take over this energy by
imagining the drop of water in any
situation I’ve been in and that helped
me a lot to be flexible enough to take
the new shape of the environment which
I’m living in and with his support I was
able to maintain my transparency as well
as to keep my Terrace characteristic as
being a water but
different different shape of a glass or
a container so as a woman I’m finished
as a woman
please respect and believe in yourself
and always imagine yourself as a drop of
water thank you very much [Applause]
