I Am Malala: A Review

I must admit that I have a terrible habit of waiting to enjoy media until long after it's stopped trending. This isn't on purpose; I just take a while to get around to things.

I Am Malala, the autobiography of the famous girl's education activist Malala Yousafzai, is now over ten years old. You may remember Yousafzai as the girl who got shot by the Taliban for going to school. While that event made her world famous, it was not the catalist that turned her into the leader and speaker she is today. This book not only explains her story, but it also teaches readers so much about the culture and history of Pakistan.

Now, I am an American, and the American media tends to depict the many countries and cultures in the Middle East in a homogenous, unflattering light, to say the least. Yousafzai's book painted a whole new picture of a country I'd known very little about. She is a woman who clearly loves Pakistan. She makes a point to describe everything from the mountains, the cultural traditions, the people, and even the little details of everyday life. It is as wonderful as it is heartbreaking, as this was a place she eventually had to leave.

And we also have Yousafzai herself. Her story, and the story of Pakistan's struggles with the Taliban are not just well explained, but well told. This book is a compelling read. She clearly has a knack for speaking and storytelling. Through her words we get to see exactly how and why a country gets taken over by religious extremists. It is a topic that remains chillingly relevant and important even to this day.

I highly recommend this book. While I do have a love for fiction, it's very important to read true stories. Read this book. Malala is teaching.

THE MOUNTAIN

“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.”

Malala Yousafzai

A bullet Might bring down a child, But not an idea.

Not a mountain.

Malala is a mountain, Strong, rock Of the earth.

Proud and righteous Against hard winds.

And Malala is an idea That knowledge is greater Than fear or tyranny.

She, too Is proud and righteous Against hard winds.

Against fear And ignorance.

A girl As fierce as a woman warrior, As strong as a mountain.

The bullet only set her free.

Malala’s lesson shows us That in the end Good will always triumph Over evil.

And if good Has yet to triumph, Then this is not the end.

In moments of doubt, Moments of fear, Look to the mountain for strength.

Look to Malala, Fear nothing.

I Am Stronger Than Fear

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and one is the pen.

-Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai, the remarkable Pakistani Female Educational Rights Activist, has left an ineradicable mark on the world. Honored as the youngest Nobel Prize Laureate at the age of 17, she stands as a beacon of inspiration for the global community. Hailing from Pakistan, she became the first Pashtun and the second Pakistani ever to receive the prestigious Nobel Prize. Her unwavering determination to secure quality education for every child, regardless of their gender, has solidified her legacy as a true advocate for change.

During the Taliban’s brutal takeover of Swat District in Pakistan, an oppressive ban was imposed on girls attending school. Shocked and enraged at this repressive action, Malala seized the opportunity to address the injustice. Unyielding in her conviction, she vehemently questioned the audacity of the Taliban, daring to strip away the fundamental right to education from her and countless others. Within the walls of the prestigious Peshawar Press Club, Malala fearlessly delivered a captivating speech, standing as a beacon of hope and defiance in the face of adversity.

With unwavering courage, she fearlessly voiced her opinions, thereby becoming a target for the extremists. In a fateful turn of events in October 2012, as she journeyed home from an exam, a masked man boarded her bus and asked, “Who is Malala?” Once he located her, she shot her on the left side of her head.

Malala’s attempted assassination sparked a wave of global outrage. As she regained consciousness after ten days in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, UK, the medical team shared with her the shocking details of the attack, while also informing her that people from every corner of the globe were fervently praying for her swift recovery.

Malala’s journey of triumph over adversity, undergoing numerous surgeries and persevering through a tough recovery, propelled her to the forefront of activism. A driving force for change, she co-founded the esteemed non-profit organization, Malala Fund, alongside Shiza Shahid. The Malala Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting girls’ education and empowering young girls to reach their full potential. Through the fund, she has supported initiatives in Pakistan, Nigeria, Jordan, and other countries, ensuring that girls have access to quality education.

Malala’s incredible journey continues to inspire countless individuals to stand up for what they believe in, challenge the status quo, and fight for equality and education for all. Her resilience in the face of adversity is a testament to the power of one person to create change, and her unwavering determination serves as a beacon of hope for a better and more inclusive world.
