Great interview! Nice to learn more about you, Noha!

I didn't get told I talked too much as a kid, but I did get told over and over again that I was too loud. I still get that sometimes. What can I say? I just have a voice that carries. Also, I was a theater kid before every school had mics that kids could wear. So, I got trained to project to the back of the theater very early. But it definitely made me feel awful when I was a kid whenever someone would say it, like I was taking up too much space, especially for a girl. I couldn't change the voice I had, so I just stopped talking a lot of the time.

I'm glad you've embraced your talkativeness, Noha. Here's to women taking up space!
