Support our Muslim Sheroes!

 Last fall, Reviving Sisterhood has been working with Twin Cities Public Television to change the narrative of Muslim women by producing short digital videos spotlighting Muslim women who are leaders in their communities. These stories highlight the women who are everyday superheroes in their communities, mosques, schools, and other public spaces. Their work often goes unnoticed, and we want to honor them by sharing their stories with the broader Minnesotan community--both Muslim and non-Muslim. We are developing 6 stories but want to showcase 25 by the end of the year. Help us continue to create and share these stories by supporting this campaign! Every dollar will help fund the "Muslim Sheroes of Minnesota" campaign.

Our Story

Reviving the Islamic Sisterhood for Empowerment (RISE) began in 2015 out of conversations with Muslim women about what they wanted to see in their communities. What we found was that Muslim women are already doing incredible things BUT nobody was talking about their work. RISE is committed to highlighting the stories of our Muslim Sheroes--women in our community who are leading and using their platforms to lift up others. 

And as you know, public perception influences public policy. When we shine a light on the amazing work that Muslim women are doing, we create a significant shift in positive imagery of our fellow sisters. 

What we need funding for

The Sheroes campaign started out with a blog. We want to continue to tell stories of Muslim women through this medium. We, then, added the digital videos. Our next step is to launch the podcasts. We hope by the end of the year 25 stories are captured! Your support will help us cover the expenses of a writer, photographer, videographer, producer, airtime and marketing the campaign. 

How can YOU help us RISE?

Every dollar will help us pay for the Sheroes stories to be aired on Twin Cities Public television starting this June. The money raised will also help us pay for the awesome group of videographers and storytellers that are helping us share our Sheroes stories. These women deserve recognition. Help us honor and celebrate them this Ramadan inshaAllah (God willing).
