POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I worked with men for years before I started my muslim women’s programs and one of the main issues is the fear from other men around being mocked , shamed and laughed at..

I understand that every situation is different but this is a VERY GOOD EXAMPLE of why men keep their feelings to themselves - especially black men - culturally we still have a long way to go in having open and VULNERABLE conversations.

As a disclaimer I don’t know the guy or his story but this is a chance to have a conversation about normalising safe spaces for men! Part of my work as a new founder of a CIC is to create spaces for men that are safe for sharing and exploring 🤲🏼

What are your thoughts on this ?

I’ll go first!!

1. My focus is to not add anything else to the pile! Zoom in on what I have already started and resist the urge to take on anymore!

2. Continue with the weight loss and not be tempted to fall off the wagon (as I usually do and have started to) really lock in on nutrition again and making choices that duke my body!

3. Rebuild my relationship with the Quran , small, daily, consistent reflections that keep me in remembrance of Allah and keep my heart attached to Him!

I know less is more , I live by it but it’s always tempting to want to do everything at once!! This last quarter is a reminder to focus on a few small habits and keep them consistent!

Now if one of yours in heal, or get unstuck , or get support and you want to concentrate over the next few months my 1-2-1 program is JUST THAT . Weekly therapy, healing , realistic weekly focuses and a space to say out loud what you’ve been holding in!

Applications are in my bio - now let me hear your 3 goals ⬇️🙂🤲🏼

Oh Palestine it’s very hard what I’ve seen, oh palestine I reminisce on how it use to be. You see nothing moves without his sublime decree, and with acceptance we can all agree, that verily with hardship comes ease.

After 5+ years of building Black Oud, a few principles have never changed.

1. Don’t sell. Educate.
2. Build relationships, not just customers.
3. Always show up presentable.

Fragrance comes second. Trust comes first.

These three rules have shaped every conversation, every product, and every decision we’ve made.

Not all fragrances are made for hot weather. Heavy gourmand or overly sweet scents can become overpowering in high temperatures, while citrus, green, and aquatic notes stay crisp.
