Some of you may know Fitrah as books.

And that’s true—that’s where we started.

But Fitrah was never about books.It was always about transformation.

Today… Fitrah looks different.

We’re a thrift store.We’re pop-up retail.We’re an auto shop.

But more than that—we’re a place where young people come to rebuild their lives.

Where they earn their first paycheck.Where they learn real skills.Where they begin to believe in themselves again.

The work has grown.The vision has grown.And now—we’re inviting you to grow with us.

So this is your moment.

Say yes to investing in youth.Say yes to second chances.Say yes to being part of something that’s changing lives—every single day.

Because Fitrah was never just a business.

It’s a movement.

And we’re just getting started.

As the year turns, we’re holding gratitude close 🤍

For every young person who trusted the process.
For every partner who stood beside us.
For every team member who chose purpose, even when it was hard.

This work is built on people. On showing up for one another. On choosing light when the world feels heavy. On believing that love and peace are actions, not just words.

Grateful to The Almighty, and to every one of you who makes this work possible.

Here’s to a new year filled with Light, Love & Peace ✨

With love,
Nadia Buron
Executive Director, Fitrah
& the entire Fitrah Team

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧. 𝗔. 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧.

This year’s SVP Fast Pitch 10th Anniversary event was absolutely electric. Being selected as one of the 𝟭𝟬 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 has been one of the most inspiring and transformative moments of my journey with Fitrah.

From day one, this program pushed us to sharpen our message, stand boldly in our purpose, and step onto that stage with clarity and confidence.

Huge congratulations to every finalist — your passion and purpose were incredible to witness. Special shout-out to Emily Sanders with for an unforgettable performance, and to Micaela Cirimeli, Jessica Alonso, and Tichia Sims Lindsay for lighting up the stage.

What meant the most wasn’t just the pitch — it was the camaraderie: the shared nerves, encouragement, last-minute tips, hugs, and genuine love. It felt like a community of mission-driven leaders who all showed up to see each other win.

I’m walking away with new friendships, exciting partnership possibilities, funds that will directly support meaningful work, and a deeper appreciation for leaders who have turned pain into purpose.

Endless gratitude to Brad Squires, Drew Hayes, Jay Thomas, the entire SVP team, and to Jack Crawford for building this platform a decade ago. And to my coaches, Luciano C. Oviedo and Nicholas Nealon — your guidance meant everything.

To my loving husband, our three beautiful kids, my parents, my friends— and to my Fitrah family, our youth, our team, and our supporters — YOU are the reason I can stand on any stage with conviction.
Most of all, I thank God, The Almighty for the people and opportunities that keep this mission moving.

My heart is full.
