Episode Description: You’ve heard of the glass ceiling…but what about the glass ledge? Of course there are some internal barriers and bias against women…. But are we internalizing it?

It’s the uncomfortable conversations with yourself that make the difference. Are you in the hustle? Addicted to busy? We are talking today about how to get off the hamster wheel of your business!

Through her diverse experience in business, pageantry and STEM, Iman noticed gender disparities in the workforce and an omnipresent bias across printed and digital media representation of women which inspired her to initially launch SWAAY in 2017 as a mediatech platform providing content creation support and editorial tools to underrepresented voices and thought leaders. Her podcast, Women Who SWAAY, which was syndicated by media conglomerate, Westwood One, was number 2 on iTunes, and was ranked in the top 5 best podcasts for women entrepreneurs by Inc. Magazine. Iman has also recently written and published her first book, The Glass Ledge: How to breakthrough self-sabotage, embrace your power, and create your success (available at all retailers including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc...). Iman was named by CIO Magazine the number one “Female Entrepreneur to Watch” in 2018 and recently became the first ever “Visage Du Maroc” of 2018 (which translates to Face of Morocco), a new initiative uplifting female voices in Morocco and across the Middle East. In 2018, Iman appeared as a keynote speaker at Harvard Women In Business and at MIT STEM Conference. She was also part of the first ever all-female judge panel at Miss Universe 2018.
