I’m so excited to share something incredible from Rabata Malaysia! Please share widely amongst your contacts.
Here is the original message from Anse Kartina: Rabata Malaysia is very proud to share the hard work & effort from one of our dear sisters @khadijahmonica who took the time, and effort to develop a Malaysian version of the She Is Me campaign by introducing strong contemporary Muslim Malaysian women who are leaders in their own fields.
The She is Me (Malaysia) is an uplifting effort highlighting the works of these inspiring ladies. They will hopefully be catalysts and role models for our younger generation to emulate InshaAllah.
In the original She Is Me series – Anse Tamara Gray and Rabata USA had compiled the story of 15 strong Muslim women who were leaders in their area and time.
It is a strong reminder that women of scholarship and leadership have always been part of our tradition and culture.
We hope that Muslim women today are cognizant & acknowledge the contributions of these amazing women and move forward to continue the legacy of ihsaan within our own lives be it our private or professional spaces.
Indeed Rabata Malaysia is very very happy to introduce She Is Me (Malaysia) for your reading and perusal.
May Allah SWT bless and increase @Khadijahmonica and her team for this wonderful endeavor .
