Actor Mia Khalifa, from Lebanon’s adult film industry, was invited to speak to students at Oxford University. She did this as an influencer to discuss the value of establishing boundaries in both her personal and professional life, her confidence and sharing personal details.
“speaking to the Oxford Students’ Union was one of those life experiences where I was fully aware of how lucky I was to be living life and doing everything I could to not let a singular moment go for granted,” Khalifa wrote on her Instagram account.
“Many thanks to the @theoxfordunion for giving me the chance to talk at such a historically significant space and establishment.
“Your dedication to bringing about real change in the world and to selecting such a varied lineup of speakers for your union humbles and inspires me. “It is an honour to have been on your stage, and I think what you do is so important.
You can judge all you want, but I’m in Oxford for what I’ve done with my life since then, so even though I was there to talk about boundaries, confidence, and my life experiences, the imposter feeling was real.
“And thanks to @dilarafindikoglu for dressing me in my DREAM uni outfit, I felt like I belonged in Gryffindor house in Oxford.”
Images of her on social media showed her walking into the public speaking room to the applause of the pupils. Although the performer herself and the academic institution have published several photographs, there is still no known clip of her remarks at this event.
“I appreciate @OxfordStudents asking me to talk about this topic, which is very important to me. The institution’s history and past speakers at the Union humble me. This will always be a special memory, and I can’t wait to tell my future children that their mother did,” she wrote on
What did “imposter syndrome” entail, according to Mia Khalifa?
Impostor syndrome, also known as fraud syndrome, is a psychological condition that causes successful people to struggle with accepting their accomplishments.
This disorder is not similar to poor self-esteem or lack of confidence because high achievers frequently experience it. These people could constantly feel under pressure to prove themselves and be scared of being discovered.
This worry can become so great that even big victories are minimised or ascribed to outside causes.
