“For me PtMSis a platform where I get to meet new and existing members who are all of different ages and ethnicities. We all get to share our opinions and experiences with 1 common thread, Islam! Each month we speak about different topics which are relevant and current to us professional Muslim women.
It feels very rewarding to see positive changes in so many sisters and to know that I am a part of this great team who has made this change happen. I have also made lifelong friends which would not have been possible without PtMSis.”
