Join us for an engaging conversation with Dr. Daisy Khan, a pioneering advocate for Muslim women's rights.
From her early days in architectural design to becoming a powerful voice for gender equality, Dr. Khan shares her inspiring journey detailed in her memoir, Born with Wings.
Her story unfolds against the backdrop of 9/11, driving her leadership in officiating marriages, tackling community issues, and challenging stereotypes about Islam.

Dr. Khan also talks about her ongoing efforts in gender rights, the power of storytelling to combat adversity, and her latest book, which champions the legacies of Muslim women like Hagar and Fatima of Fez through modern media.
