Ep 69: Why We Need More Confident Women in Leadership

Not only do we need more confident women with a seat at the table in politics and in board rooms but we need more with a seat at the table in Mosques, other Religious Organizations and spaces where economic, social and community decisions are being made on our behalf. We need women who are confident in their femininity who understand their value and are able to articulate themselves in spaces where the voices of women often go unheard.  This episode is to spark that conversation and to give more women the green light to speak up in boardrooms and at mosques etc so we can begin to make more changes that benefit ALL of the members of society. This episode was brought to you by the Not Without My Hijab book Women often appear to suffer from the misconception that to be successful in business or accepted in society they have to diminish or denounce their faith or beliefs. In "Not Without My Hijab", I walk you through my personal journey to self-discovery while navigating college, corporate america and relationships. I guides you through 11 steps to reclaiming your faith. In my travels as a business coach I have encountered women cross culturally who face the same internal conflict regarding their religious identity as I did and I wrote this book to help guide you back to being your most authentic self so you can live your absolute best life.
