Ready to be completely inspired? Pull up a chair, sis - we're sitting down with the absolutely incredible Aminata Cisse in this week's episode of Muslimahs in Motion. As a powerhouse data engineer, Aminata is doing the kind of work that makes us all want to dream bigger and reach higher.
Get ready to hear how our girl went from being "the only one" in her computer science classes to becoming a force for change in the energy sector. Trust me, her story of pushing through those tough early days will have you nodding along and saying "mash'Allah" more times than you can count.
But here's what we love most - Aminata isn't just coding away in her corner. She's using her tech superpowers to lift up communities that have been overlooked for far too long. And yes, she's doing it all while staying beautifully authentic to her faith and values (because who says we can't have it all?).
Whether you're already deep in those tech trenches, dreaming of your first engineering role, or just love seeing our sisters break barriers, this episode is your sign to believe in those big dreams of yours. Come join our heart-to-heart with Aminata as we talk resilience, purpose, and how to stay true to yourself while climbing that career ladder. Seriously, you won't want to miss this one! 💕
