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).
