In this episode, I’m joined by Sister Tanweer Daya, Sister Annette Issa, and brother Mohammed.

Sister Tanweer graduated within the optical sector in the UK and has since completed many neuro social development programs. She is now a consultant for a range of e-commerce players to mentor their teams and guide them toward forming successful high-end corporate partnerships. Tanweer is also the co-founder of the MeetTheOne platform, which is designed for Shia Muslims who are seeking their life partners. 

Sister Annette is a Pre-K to Kindergarten online teacher at the City of Knowledge. She was also an active member of the Muslim community when she was living in Canada. She now lives in Michigan where she promotes unity within Islamic Community. Sister Annette is also a realtor with Century 21.

Joining us also is Muhhamned, one of my favorite people on the planet. He is one of the sources of inspiration and motivation for me.

In this episode, we talk about Lady Fatima’s modesty, bravery, humility, and sheer devotion to the lord. We also share how women in today’s world can emulate Lady Fatima’s teachings. Tune in to find out more.
