About Us

White Torn Square Paper

My journey as woman began as an Afghan refugee. As a child I was exposed to many harsh challenges that so many women, in various parts of the world, still face today . Later in life I would relocate to the US and then Europe where I’d discover new opportunities and freedoms, yet still encounter challenges and

hurdles unique to women. . Working to help empower, support, encourage and uplift all women, locally and Internationally, and to help them find equality and unlock their full potential has always been at the center of my heart.


Our mission is to create supportive, empowering communities to help empower and uplift all women locally and abroad. To help create a world where everyone is treated with respect, kindness and love, regardless of gender, race or religion.


Through local network & community chapters, content and programs we work to make women smile, feel valued, find joy in life and achieve their potential.


We hope you’ll join and support us in our efforts, not only will you grow and unlock your best self you’ll be part of a movement to help other women locally and abroad do the same.

Sincerely,



Founder & CEO
