Testimonials.

UMI has allowed me to grow and feel empowered in so many different ways. Witnessing how UMI focuses on women, I was encouraged to start my own coaching business since I had a passion for career development. I am focusing on women since UMI showed me that women are in need of this service. UMI prepared me to start my business by giving me the opportunity To attend and participate in business strategy meeting with the board. Overall, I would recommend UMI and would hope women would see the positive impact it has on women’s lives.
Amney Iskander
CEO, That Hijabi Coach
When I was contemplating leaving my corporate job to start my own business, I reached out to the UMI team for advice. At the time, I needed insight from Muslim women who understood my concerns and fears. The coaching and advice I received through UMI was life-changing and helped me take a leap that has led to a more fulfilling career path, Alhamdulilah.
