Women Changing The World

The Daughters of Greatness series honors women who are changemakers in the arenas of social philanthropy, activism, and pursuits of justice. These women embody Muhammad’s core values as they actively work to realize the Center’s vision for a more just and compassionate world where all of us—whatever our race, religion, or background—can achieve the fullest measure of our greatness. By supporting Daughters of Greatness, you help us to amplify the voices of women who stand at the fore of social change while inspiring others to seize their power and carry forward the torch.

At each event, guests are welcomed at 8:30 a.m. for networking and breakfast. The program runs from 9-10 a.m. Seating is limited. For more information, email our Education team.
