What inspires you to show up at work every day?
The goals I still have to accomplish are what inspire me to show up every morning. I get up Monday through Friday and clock into my nine-to-five to support me in achieving my entrepreneurial goals for Hijabified Clothing. One day soon, I will clock in for myself and Hijabified Clothing.
How did you determine your career path?
I think my career path choose me. As a young girl, I would visit fabric shops with my mom to make my school clothing. My interest in fashion and design began at that point and stayed with me. I put my faith in wherever Allah [God] takes me. I am a believer that everything happens for a reason and to leave it in Allāh’s hands.
