What audiences are saying
“Our volunteers and committee members were very motivated with your presentation, Alhumdulillah.”
“You are an amazing speaker.”
“She gave a very beneficial talk at the University of Michigan. Her insights should be heard by all Muslims and non-Muslims.”
“I was very impressed by its high level of professionalism and accessibility, as I am sure the primary audience of school counselors was as well. CMENAS very much looks forward to working with you and ING Midwest in the future inshallah!”
“We all loved the workshop style talk she gave! Left us all with lots of insightful thoughts, and gems! We are planning to have her back for a part 2!”
“With the monotony of our usually fixed schedules and the thousands of tasks we try to cram in our days, it is easy to lose ourselves in anything and everything. But that’s not a way to live and I admire the way you conveyed that message through prioritizing our deen and what we love.”
About Aisha
Aisha A. Arshad is a speaker, educator, and coach whose work sits at the intersection of faith and personal growth. She explores the questions Muslim women face as they seek to grow, achieve, contribute, and build meaningful lives without assuming that faith, family, gratitude, or peace must be the price of doing so.
At the heart of her work is a belief that has shaped her teaching for years: Muslim women are the backbone of the Ummah. When we shine, everyone around us benefits.
Speaking & Teaching
Aisha has been speaking and teaching in Muslim community spaces since 2018. She is known for her signature talk, “How to Be Unapologetically Muslim and Live Your Best Life,” and has spoken for organizations including Jannah Institute, AlMaghrib, Qabeelah Ittihaad, MCWS, the Muslim Enrichment Project, IAGD, Tadabbur, IONA, and the Islamic Foundation of Lincoln.
She has also spoken for MSAs at Cornell University, the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Dearborn, Wayne State University, Henry Ford College, and Washtenaw Technical Middle College.
Her teaching experience extends beyond the stage. As Academics Head for Qabeelah Ittihaad, the Michigan chapter of AlMaghrib Institute, Aisha led a weekly online halaqa exploring topics ranging from the Names of Allah and the leadership qualities of the Prophet ﷺ to burnout, personal growth, and what it means to live a life well-lived.
The Strong Believer
Aisha is the creator of The Strong Believer, her signature group coaching program for Muslim women. Now an expanded 12-week experience, the program has served more than 70 women across five cohorts.
The Strong Believer grew out of a question at the heart of Aisha’s work: What does it actually mean to become a strong Muslim woman? Not simply to do more or achieve more, but to grow in faith, develop what Allah has given you, and become someone who can contribute more fully to the people and communities around her.
Community, Research & Civic Engagement
Her interest in Muslim leadership and community life began well before her work as a speaker. In 2016, as a Research Assistant with the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU), she interviewed more than 40 Michigan Muslims, including lawyers, judges, law enforcement officers, public officials, and community leaders, for the Muslims for American Progress study. She also compiled the first-ever list of Michigan Muslims serving in public office. In 2019 she became a Certified Speaker with ING MidWest, where she presented “Getting to Know American Muslims and Their Faith” at schools, colleges, and civic organizations across Michigan. Today she is an active member of the Plymouth-Canton Interfaith Community Outreach group and was recently elected to serve as a precinct delegate in her local community.
Aisha holds a Higher Diploma in Islamic Studies, an M.S. in Educational Technology, and a B.S. in Information Systems. She has also spent three decades studying personal and professional growth. Her teaching brings all of these worlds together: Islamic learning, Muslim identity, personal development, and years of hands-on community engagement.
