Welcome to episode 30 of unsweet and unfiltered.

It's technically our dirty 30.

But I promise you guys, there's nothing dirty about this episode.

We're actually keeping it very professional.

Hashtag halal conversations

with an unfiltered twist. I like that. This has been a great weekend. First off, we have a very

special guest who is Sophia Haq from Muslim women professionals. Before we get into her background

Muslim women in tech is more so like STEM related um careers and I reached out to the girls and I'm

It was so nice.

And I would never have known if I didn't go and I didn't attend and push myself.

But it's also nice to meet people that are doing something different than what you're doing. Because I feel like in some way or another, it's always good to know people who have different

skill sets than you do because you never know when you're going to need someone to help you in that
