Young Muslim women in the greater Toronto area have great opportunities to excel at various skills, thanks to the Outburst! Young Muslim Women’s Project. Outburst! offers many art programs, such as poetry and photography, for no cost at all. This gives young women the opportunity to develop skills in fields of their interest.

The organization raised more than $5,000 through an Indiegogo campaign, and other donations, so that it can continue to offer these programs that are especially geared towards young Muslim women.

Ready? Through our online campaign page, Canada Helps page, & other donations, we raised (drumroll please) just over $5800. A big THANK YOU!

Hera ashrafI am a graduate with a biology degree, hoping to eventually pursue medicine. I am a self-proclaimed foodie, with a passion for desserts. Coffee and bollywood are my two most favorite things. I love to read, even though I barely get time for it anymore, and to write. Brown Girl Magazine allows me to write about the things I love and share it with others. My ultimate goal in life is to become a world wanderer.
