As 2024 winds down, I’ve taken some time to reflect on both personal and professional growth. It’s a story of faith, resilience, and embracing change—something that has shaped the heart of our brand. I hope it resonates with you and offers inspiration as you look toward the new year.

Chasing the Idea of Having It All

For years, I chased the normalized idea of having it all—excelling at home, with my kids, in my marriage, career, friendships, and family. I thought if I worked harder and pushed more, I could make it happen. But all that running left me feeling like I was never enough, that I always had to do more.

Then it hit me: I already have what truly makes me content. I was overlooking the bigger picture! I want to embrace my journey and fully enjoy it while striving to become the best version of myself. This isn’t giving up; it’s leaning in. Leaning into moments with loved ones, into the gifts of health, time, and energy. These are just as valuable as any achievement.

Lessons in Faith and Resilience

This year, the ongoing inhumane genocide in Gaza brought another epiphany. It deepened my faith, reminding me of Allah SWT’s wisdom— that we can find gratitude even in hardship, and trust that we are in the Best Hands no matter how things look like on the surface. I’m deeply inspired by the resilience of our brothers and sisters in Gaza, who continue to embody strength and unwavering faith amidst unimaginable hardship. Strengthening my faith means daily acts of submission, gratitude, and trust. 

Faith isn’t a destination; it’s a journey. It’s built on how we rise after falling. Your trials, triumphs, and even “failures” are proof you’re running your race. Just like the sun and moon follow their own orbits, each of us has a unique track in life. Be kind to yourself—you’re right where you need to be.

Embracing Change in My Hijab Brand

Professionally, I’ve also embraced change. Over the past year, I’ve experimented with different hijab fabrics and styles, rediscovered my own aesthetic, and focused on helping other women find theirs. My goal has been to offer hijabs and accessories that aren’t just products but reflections of individuality—not mass-produced, but tailored to make every woman feel special.

Our hijab collection now includes thoughtfully curated pieces that celebrate the beauty of modest fashion while providing premium quality, comfort, and elegance. From bamboo jersey hijabs to satin crinkle designs for formal occasions, each piece is created with care and attention to detail.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As 2025 approaches, I’m stepping into it with purpose. My goal is to be present—to cherish the people I love, the moments that matter, and the growth still ahead. Life isn’t about having it all; it’s about living it fully, with gratitude and grace.

Praying for real peace and equality for all. May we step into the new year with unwavering faith, the strength to embrace what’s next, and the determination to live with intention and purpose.
