Episode 3: Nurah - Serial Entrepreneur, Straight-talker
Muslim Women, Money & the Business of Building Wealth
In this episode, Nurah and I are unpacking the layered, often unspoken relationship Muslim women have with money, work, and self-worth. From childhood memories to stealth wealth and side hustles, we explore the shame, the hustle, and the hope that comes with earning and building.
We ask:
•Why are so many Muslim women turning to business?
•Where does our money mindset come from?
•And how do we make peace with ambition in a world that sometimes shames it?
This one’s for the working woman, the silent saver, the ambitious dreamer, and the mama making miracles happen on a budget.
