Reviving Sisterhood

Welcome to the Sisterhood!

In September 2015, a handful of Muslim women gathered in the offices of Pollen in the North Loop of Minneapolis. They began to share their experiences and their observations about female leadership, civic engagement, and community involvement. Muslim women were teachers, scholars, professionals, activists, philanthropists—doing the work but going unacknowledged. Coupled with anti-Muslim rhetoric and a rise in harassment and hate crimes targeting Muslim women, the need for a platform founded on sisterhood was clear.

And so on that morning, Reviving the Islamic Sisterhood for Empowerment was launched. We're on a mission to amplify the voice and power of Muslim women.

We bridge the gap between faith and storytelling, leadership development, and advocacy. We have created a space—for Muslim women, by Muslim women—centering our voices and our lived experiences in order to impact change in our communities.
