"I can educate you, show you, and tell you that you are beautiful, but you have to believe it, and keep that belief alive in everything that you do. You already are a masterpiece.”  – Ferial Youakim
 
 
Behind every smile and success, there is a story and a journey. Ferial Youakim is an internationally known image consultant. As a child, Ferial experienced a tragedy in a refugee camp that shaped her life.  She overcame a lack of education, poor self-esteem, and a crippling fear of public speaking to create a global company. With the love and support of her family and faith, her spirit and passion is to help people live the life they deserve and realize that beauty is more than just a word.

With a resume that spans the globe, Ferial Youakim has spoken in more than half a dozen countries. She has presented at various conferences, events, non-profit organizations, and schools. Some of these events include Miss Australia, Kids Helping Kids, and other conferences about self-image. She has spoken about managing your business with your own image in a positive way; educating people on the importance of self-worth; and helping people in unlocking their true beauty within themselves.
 
Not only is Ferial an established and outstanding image consultant and professional speaker, she is also an inspiring author who wants to share her journey with the world in her new book, “Beyond Beauty.”  Her journey has been filled with trials and tribulations, but because of these obstacles she has found what it truly means to discover her self-worth. Ferial’s mission is to make sure that no one should ever feel less than they are worth. No matter where she goes, she is always sure to leave an impactful message. Ferial is not your average speaker; she engages her audience and encourages them to think critically – not negatively – but positively.
