The RISE conference centers Muslim women’s voices by building a social network, providing concrete steps for change, and inspiring women to use their own strengths to positively affect social issues.

Our theme this year, SELF-LOVE & LIBERATION, reminds us that loving ourselves is part of liberating our communities. Join us for a day of inspiration and motivation as we learn from Muslim women practitioners of self-care and community care.
