For anyone interested in a series of eight workshops being offered in New York City for young Muslim girls from ages 13-20, here's the information on "Mecca To Manhattan: Muslim Women Moving Mountains" presented by Turning Point for Women and Families.
Mecca to Manhattan: Muslim Women Moving Mountains (M2M)
In its second year, Mecca to Manhattan: Muslim Women Moving Mountains (M2M) is an 8-week workshop series for young Muslim women and girls, living in the New York City area. Workshops will feature dynamic Muslim women, who are emerging leaders in the field of arts, activism, community service, business, and academics. As part of Turning Point’s commitment to empowering Muslim women and girls, the program aims to:
demonstrate that young Muslim women and girls are inheritors of a tradition that has historically witnessed female leaders as agents of change
provide a platform that takes a critical look at how gender, race, class, culture, language, ethnicity, history and faith impact their lives
foster links between emerging and well-known Muslim women leaders in the community and Muslim women and girls
Facilitators will help connect past with the present and demonstrate that Muslim women and girls are part of a new generation of leaders. Each facilitator will discuss a topic of relevance with participants, share her own experience, and draw connections to the long tradition of powerful Muslim women. Through dialogue and interactive exercises, workshops will be designed to achieve the following objectives:
engage in critical thinking through discussions on a wide-range of topics unique to Muslim women and girls
increase knowledge that can assist in developing short- and long-term goals
enhance participant self-esteem and confidence toward achieving personal and academic goals.
Program & Workshop Details
