Faith, Fashion, & Fighting Cancer - Tasneem Valley Gets Real.
A Full-Circle Conversation with Tasneem Valley – From Modest Influencer to Skin Guru and Cancer Warrior.
In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of The Chai Lounge, Safeera Kaka sits down with long-time friend and guest, Tasneem Valley — an OG modest fashion influencer, aesthetician, and now, cancer survivor.
Together, they journey through Tasneem's evolution: from growing up with insecurity, to finding early confidence through skincare, to becoming one of South Africa’s most recognisable modest influencers in the pre-Instagram era.
They also touch on the spiritual weight of influence, the responsibility of being a Muslim woman online, and how cancer forced Tasneem to reassess everything — including her purpose, faith, and health.
This episode is a powerful full-circle moment between two women who started their media journeys together — and have found renewed clarity, strength, and grounding in their paths.
