As we wrap up #IslamophobiaAwarenessMonth, we share some inspiring words from council member aaliyaposts: "Senior leadership is a lonely place for a visibly Muslim woman. I have been, and continue to be, subject to behaviours and words rooted in Islamophobia, including from those that share my gender and country of heritage. Rather than make me shy away, it reiterates the importance of my presence and continued work behind the scenes to mentor and sponsor other Muslim women to succeed." This month has been a reminder of the small actions we can take to challenge Islamophobia and cultivate inclusivity. Let’s continue to grow these #SeedsOfChange together.
