Welcome to My Blog – I’m Sali
Thank you so much for visiting. I created this website with a clear purpose: to reach out, inspire, and help as many people as possible by sharing my journey—a journey of resilience, transformation, and purpose.
Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I’m the youngest of four children and was fortunate to grow up in a loving yet traditional family. My father, a Major in the military, often travelled, but both my parents were deeply committed to our education and upbringing. As a child, I was active and full of energy—my parents channelled that into sports and music. I played basketball, practised karate, wrestled with my dad, and explored music and singing.
But life changed drastically at age 15 when my eldest brother passed away after a short illness. He was like a father figure to me, and his death left a deep void, shaking my faith and making me question everything around me.
At 19, I entered my first marriage. It ended after six years due to abuse. I felt lost, isolated, and ashamed. I doubted whether I could survive on my own. Leaving that relationship was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but it was also the most liberating. It shaped the woman I am today.
I’ve been through two failed marriages. My second marriage, too, was with a narcissist, and although it was incredibly painful, it taught me important lessons about self-worth, boundaries, and resilience.
During those dark times, I had no job, no confidence, and no direction. I felt completely alone. Then, I lost my father on Boxing Day—a heartbreak that shattered me further. Yet in all that grief and pain, I found a spark. I began volunteering, reconnected with people, and slowly rebuilt myself.
Academically, I found my strength and passion. I earned a Master’s degree in Forensic Science from one of the world’s most prestigious institutions, King’s College London. Later, I went on to complete a PhD in Defence and Security—an achievement that seemed impossible at one point in my life.
Professionally, I started from the ground up. My first job was in retail, where I quickly rose to management. I then transitioned to education, working as a science technician and eventually training as a teacher. Today, I’m proud to say that I’m a scientist, writer, teacher, human rights advocate, and most importantly, a devoted mother to three incredible children.
My mission is to inspire others to reclaim their power. I want you to know: your pain does not define you. Your story matters. You can overcome, heal, and thrive.
I’ve been through heartbreak, grief, abuse, and discrimination. But today, I stand strong, confident, and grounded in purpose. I believe that every one of us holds a divine power within—a spark of greatness. If we trust in ourselves, align with our true purpose, and have faith, nothing is impossible.
So, if you are struggling, please don’t give up. Ever. You are not alone. There is a way forward. There is hope. And there is always a reason to believe in yourself.
I am grateful for you being here. I am grateful for everyone’s support and help during my journey.
