Shahida Kola, Founder of 121 Tuition

“I am 34 years old, born in the UK, mother of 4 beautiful children and I run a successful tuition company (121 Tuition). From a young age I have always wanted to work with children; this passion grew stronger as I got older. I studied hard whilst taking care of my 4 young children. In 2008, after completing my studies, I knew it would be a while before I would apply for a teaching job in a school, so I decided that whilst my children were still young, I could offer private tuition. I designed some leaflets myself, which were very basic as I did not have much to put into the business at that time. Within the first week of posting the leaflets around the area I was overwhelmed with the number of calls I received. The intention of teaching a few students actually turned out to be the initial number of 59 students. I worked from a large room in my home,, which I converted into a classroom. I continued at my home for a year and employed my first member of staff. 121 Tuition had m...

Suna Tufan, Founder of Sahhane Restaurants

“I was born in Konya, Turkey in 1976. I studied Business and Theology at university. After graduation, I worked in different companies, both Turkish and international. When I had my children I stopped working and I devoted myself to raising them. In 2007, I started my first business, Şahhane Restaurant in Ankara. One of the biggest motives behind starting the restaurant is the fact that I wanted a non-alcoholic place for conservative people where they could have a good time with their family accompanied with live music. I personally thought there was a need for such a place, after a while we had to change our concept since the demand was low. Now we're serving in a hall where people hold ceremonies like weddings and graduations. After becoming successful, we opened another branch again in Ankara. In addition to my restaurants, I'm also managing a gas station which was left to me from my dad. I wasn't wearing the hijab before 2007, that’s the same year I turned back t...

Siddiqa Juma, Contemporary Islamic Artist

“I am a British contemporary Islamic artist from Watford, on the outskirts of London. I am a mother of 4, grandmother of 2 and have painted for pleasure since I was a child, and professionally for work since around 2010. I simply cannot imagine my life without art. I have painted for as long as I can remember. Born in Zanzibar and growing up in Tanzania, I remember having one of my paintings featured in the local newspaper when I was 8 years old. I can't really explain why I paint. It comes completely as second nature to me. I painted as gifts for my family members, I did portraits of my children when they were younger and Islam, my faith - has always been the greatest inspiration in my art. I cannot imagine my life without art and without painting. It is as important to me as the air that I breathe, not just as a form of meditation, but as a means of transferring all of my thoughts and creative energy into creating something beautiful, with a message that I hope will travel as ...
