If you have been seeing my posts recently, you may have noticed that I have been on a new adventure of starting up and building a nonprofit organization geared towards supporting #womeninconstruction and #womenintrades. For those that know me through work or personally, I'm not one to call for attention or really put myself or my story out there - but in efforts to reach other women in this I've got to learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. I am ecstatic to see all of the support in sales in my recently self-published book for this nonprofit #buildherbeheard. Knowing what it is like to find my way in the AEC industry without any knowledge of expectations when I was around the age of 19 and seeing some of history being repeated with young women entering the industry, I am hopeful that this book can help similar women align their own personal thoughts and establish their own boundaries when it comes to self-advocacy in what their own goals and limits are. I have had a very rewarding career in the industry and truly want the same for other women who may begin to find themselves isolated, unheard, or unsupported so that they can recognize the amount of support we actually have by hearing the stories from those around us. The book being designed in a way that provides the reader with self-reflection input and highlights various topics we all seem to still be facing but will all manage differently. Does it mean that I have very woman's point of view covered - absolutely not, but it does mean that I am eager to see various women in the industry from multiple levels, disciplines, backgrounds thrive and succeed in our industry. I am also calling on our male allies and advocates to also to be open and willing to hear the varied perceptions that women on your team may be experiencing. I know that the industry can grow to further strengthen one another and sponsor, support and advocate for the women on our team. So, take a look, reach out, and let's discuss partnering opportunities by completing the partnering page on my website!

To me, becoming a brand ambassador of something means that you believe in that cause, endorse that cause and want to raise awareness for that cause. We talk a lot about the fancy words like women empowerment, we read so many reports on it every year, organize workshops and celebrate days to reassure ourselves that we are empowered. However, what I truly believe to be women empowerment is that: 1. Women should have the decency and courage to support other women, instead of leg-pulling, name-calling, and scoffing down upon them. 2. Women MUST have access to basic rights like healthcare, education, equality and inclusion. 3. Women MUST learn to become financially literate as well as financially independent; not because then they won't need a partner, but because then they will be able to complement their partners, and raise children who can respect humans (irrespective of their castes, genders, colors, social status). I have seen Alishba Tayyab speaking about women empowerment through her initiatives at WSHR, under Green HRS. I stand by every woman who has the heart of a lioness to cheer for other women, and straighten up their crowns if they stumble. Sana Khan Founder & CEO HER Health- Women's Gyne & Mental Health

When women come together, they share their skills, knowledge and resources; I've witnessed firsthand the transformation that can be given and received. Yet, as "Business Owners", who are women often feel lonely, isolated, and unheard. According to the BBC gender pay gap report, many women who ran their own business would cite a non-existent Male director or CEO as they felt it gave them more creditability 🤯 I'm on a mission now, women need to stop this 💩 My mission - to remove the need to do that, to remove the feeling of isolation and loneliness, and to let inspiration, collaboration and personal growth become abundant. Come and join "Board Women" and allow yourself to connect, grow, and have success. https://lnkd.in/epMaskMB #womenleaders #womeninbuiness #womenfounder #womenempoweringwomen
