For a long time, I knew I had something to say, but I didn’t yet know who I was sent to say it to.
A few years ago, I was invited to an event. As the conversations unfolded, I found myself naturally stepping into a place of leadership. Sharing business awareness, explaining why I changed what I charge, and talking about values, integrity, and confidence.
Nobody asked me to speak… but I couldn’t stop myself.
It wasn’t ego.
It was clarity.
I realised: “I’ve lived through too much, learned too much, worked too hard…" not to pass this on.”
But I was speaking to the wrong audience.
They weren’t ready.
Instead of valuing the knowledge, they criticised my confidence.
That’s when it hit me:
I need to speak to women who want to rise, not those committed to staying small.
And then came the deeper conflict…
My wedding cake clients were mostly English couples. They respected me, but my Islamic identity didn’t align with their environment.
I couldn’t say barakah, Alhamdulillah, mashAllah freely.
I had to explain why I don’t shake hands with men.
I felt inauthentic… fragmented.
But when I turned to my own community, the cultural trauma was real.
Lack of integrity.
Cutting corners.
Making me feel “less than.”
Minimising my achievements.
Old wounds reopened.
So I was stuck between two worlds:
One aligned with my professionalism but not my deen…
And one aligned with my deen but not my values.
And then the truth dropped:
There ARE Muslimah entrepreneurs who value integrity, excellence, growth, and barakah.
Women like me.
Women like the one I fought so hard to become.
So I made a decision.
✨ I will find them.
✨ I will mentor them.
✨ I will build with them.
✨ I will teach them to rise powerfully, profitably, and with barakah.
Because I don’t want another Muslimah to waste years in confusion, guilt, or smallness the way I did.
This is bigger than business.
This is about identity, deen, integrity, and legacy.
This is why I became a mindset & and business coach for Muslimah entrepreneurs.
This is my “why.”
This is my story
