ZAAHIRAH AS A LEADER
Leadership is about leaving a legacy, building a community, and fostering collaboration and inclusivity for long-term success.
Leadership is not about self-portrait, it is about the legacy you leave behind, the community you build.
Great Leaders inspire.
The future of leadership is on what we feed the youth..
When I think of a leader, I think of of the wife of the Prophet Mohammed (Khatijah PBUH).
GREAT LEADERS ARE NEVER AFRAID TO FAIL.
