Take controlled risks. Playing it safe, says international journalist Ahu Ozyurt, is a habit that can keep women from taking advantage of the opportunities that come their way. What life lessons has Ozyurt learned from minefields in Kobane, an exploration of the former American embassy in Tehran and an undercover tour of Obama’s presidential campaign? Ones that will certainly inspire you to push boundaries and make things happen.
Ahu Ozyurt is currently the Anchor and writer of CNN Turk’s Daily show “After 10”. She also writes a weekly column on Hurriyet Daily News. Ms. Ozyurt was the Washington Correspondent of CNN Turk and Milliyet Newspaper between 2007-09. She was the anchor of Late Night News and Business Lunch shows between 2003 – 2007.
