Sarifa Alonto Younes's Latest Books
Young girl, Sarifa Alonto-Younes grew up with a family she loved, in a country she loved, doing what she loved - playing games with her friends under the warm shelter of her family home in her hometown of Marawi City in the Philippines.
At age ten, her innocent world was ripped apart forever when tragedy struck and Sarifa's fate was sealed. She was an orphan, alone in the world armed with nothing but a dream. A dream to end her misery and get an education.
Teaching herself to read and write from her brother's schoolbooks was the first step, ploughing through a series of obstacles, prejudices and gender inequalities was the next. Purpose-driven and intent on making something of her life, Sarifa found a secret formula that helped end her suffering and transform her thinking and her life forever.
Sarifa's inspiring story of struggle and triumph will help anyone face and overcome their obstacles in life with a new sense of passion, purpose and grace. Never has there been a better time to learn how to Love Your Obstacles.
Sarifa is a fantastic speaker and advocate for loving your obstacles. She changes your perspective on life’s hardship and shows you how to overcome them in a positive way. Listening to her speak on stage there is rarely a dry eye in the room. Her story comes from the heart. I would recommend having Sarifa speak on your stage or to work with such an resilient human being

Testimonials
I first met Sarifa in 2018 when she was a finalist for the AusMumpreneur Awards, I remember seeing this quiet and unassuming lady sitting in a room packed full of women and thinking to myself I hope she's enjoying this event and not feeling overwhelmed by so many people. I had no idea what a powerhouse this woman was and how wrong I was to think she had ever been quiet or unassuming! ....
