A place where women of all kinds become one, and share their hardships as well as stories on how they became the woman they are today.

Five brown Muslim women have come together to express their views on all the challenges they face while following their dreams and crushing stereotypes.  

Yasmeen Sheikah, Hinda Akel, Oula Yassine, Kanwal Memon, and Mahnoor Syed are college-aged women chasing after their dreams and encouraging women of all kinds to do the same regardless of the fear of falling.

This video specifically gives context on who each of them is. Yasmeen, a Journalist, Hinda,  a communications specialist, Oula, a fashion designer, Kanwal, fashion business and Mahnoor, media producer and web designer, are showing women young and old they can and will make a difference in this world through their specific mediums.  

Following this video will be a series of talk show episodes featuring the five women touching on topics including: current events pertaining to women, stereotypes, social media and what it's like chasing after a dream.
