Say Yes to Truth: Radical Honesty, Inner Truths and Breaking Social Cycles ft. Zainab Bala
As Muslim women, it’s so easy to lose sight of our fitra - our own inner truth. Often, we live in the "comfortable gray area" to avoid the friction that truth might cause in our families, careers, or social circles. This conversation with journalist and civic leader Zainab Bala is an invitation to stop "performing" the version of yourself you think the world wants to see. We explore truth through our internal compass as individuals, communal truths which drive dangerous social cycles, and truth within the context of leadership. This is for every Muslim woman who is ready to embrace radical honesty—with herself, her community, and her Creator.
