Riz Ahmed: How to Silence Your Inner Critic (And Build REAL Self Worth)
"I started asking myself, am I going to make my way out of this? Am I going to die here? I started talking to God and I said, if you please give me a chance, if you please let me live, I promise you as much as I can, I will give."
During his lowest moment hospitalized with a resistant autoimmune condition that threatened his heart and lungs, Riz Ahmed faced the real possibility of death.
