In its 2^nd year, Mecca To Manhattan is an 8-week workshop series for young Muslim women and girls, living in the NewYork City area. Workshops will feature dynamic Muslim women, who are emerging leaders in the fields of arts, activism, community service, business, and academics.  As part of Turning Point’s commitment to empowering Muslim women and girls, the program aims to:

>>demonstrate that young Muslim women and girls are inheritors
of a tradition that has historically witnessed female leaders as agents of change

>>provide a platform that takes a critical look at how gender, race, class, culture,
language, ethnicity, faith, and history impact their lives

>>foster links between emerging and well-known Muslim female leaders
in the community and Muslim women and girls.
