Being a member of the Dawoodi Bhora community in modern-day America while juggling a full-time job in the corporate world, a thriving social life, and family obligations is a tall order for anyone. Being a woman makes it all that much more challenging.

Being an American women in today's world is difficult. There is the well-discussed expectation that the modern woman be capable of seamlessly managing a thriving career, a successful marriage, and happy family -- all while maintaining an effortless aura of calm beauty and control. 


These expectations hold true of the modern Bhora women as well... with a couple of additional hurdles thrown in along the way, just to make life extra interesting!


This blog was created for the purpose of exploring some these challenges, and all the crazy, hilarious, frustrating and fulfilling moments that come along with it... 


Whether you identify yourself as a Bhora woman, a Muslim woman, an American woman, a minority woman, or anyone that identifies with the Bhora community or Muslim community at large, I are sure that you will be able to relate to some of the issues brought up here, and invite you to join in my laughter and chagrin.
