Last night, Muslim Women Founders hosted an International Women's Day dinner and fireside conversation bringing together perspectives from across storytelling, media and cultural influence.

From journalism and content creation to global entertainment and cultural investment, the conversation explored how stories are shaped through the platforms we build, the work we produce, and the systems we operate within.

As , it was a reminder that there isn't one way to hold power or influence.

As Muslim women, we're often navigating spaces where our stories are either misrepresented or overlooked.

What felt important was recognising that we each have a role to play in how we lead, what we build and how we choose to show up.

The conversation carried into the room, founders sharing openly about their journeys, the challenges they're facing, and the need for spaces rooted in integrity, purpose and collective support.

sits at the heart of how we are seen and understood. As founders, how we communicate our work and hold our values shapes that narrative.

Muslim Women Founders exists to create space for those journeys to be shared and recognised.
Thank you to our speakers, our guests, and the wider MW community for being part of this. Sabah Gilani Fizah Tahir Marya Bangee

Muslim Women Founders: 2025 was a year of building with intention.

Across the year, Muslim Women Founders created spaces for Muslim women to gather, think, speak, and lead, across business, philanthropy, tech, media, and community life. From intimate conversations to public platforms, our focus has been on strengthening leadership infrastructure, visibility, and connection.

We hosted and collaborated on live panels, workshops, and gatherings across London, Manchester, and Birmingham; launched The Alchemy of Leadership retreat and masterclass series; continued Muslim Women Talk Ramadan; and partnered with platforms like Friday Magazine to ensure Muslim women’s stories are held with depth and permanence.

This work sits at the intersection of community, strategy, and systems change. It is about moving beyond visibility alone, toward agency, influence, and collective capacity.

Thank you to every woman, partner, and collaborator who helped shape this year.

What a night Muslim Women Awards surrounded by women shaping change across business, STEM, education, media, sport, activism and more. To witness so many journeys honoured, stories elevated, and legacies celebrated was deeply affirming. Thank you to Suada Mohamoud and her team for creating a space that recognises Muslim women at scale and for placing our voices, businesses and leadership firmly at the centre.

With over 50 million Muslim women entering the workforce since 2000 and contributing nearly $1 trillion globally, an estimated £225B untapped market in the UK alone - this is not just representation, it’s influence, scale and opportunity waiting to be unlocked. Events like this remind us why visibility matters, but building ecosystems around that visibility matters even more. At Muslim Women Founders, this is the work we are committed to: strengthening networks, expanding opportunity, and ensuring Muslim women are not only recognised, but resourced, connected, and positioned to lead.
