    S3 EP4 | Leaving your legacy | Passion, Purpose and Impact w/ Kamal Saleh

    Make an impact. Do what you love. Leave your legacy. How many times have we heard this? 😥 Whilst our university years are one of our most formative years, they are undoubtedly, one of our most confusing. We are surrounded by people on very different paths and seem like they are living “their dream” whilst we mull around over ours.🎻 Do we really need to always do what we love? What does it actually mean to leave a legacy? How did people who are thriving find their path? 🤔 Brother Kamal is a daee, motivational speaker and exceptional creative media creator whom you all might have seen on OnePath Network 🙌 Making it big and starting out right here in Sydney, from Macquarie University, brother Kamal takes us through his journey and insights of leaving your own legacy 🛣️ 📱Follow @OnePathNetwork on Instagram, TikTok and Youtube for some of the best Islamic media production out there!

    S3 EP2 | Dealing with my ‘Muslim-ness’: The Identity Conundrum w/ The Sunnah Guy

    😓 It can be tough being “different” Especially living in the West, we can feel that our ‘Muslim-ness’ is under a microscope. 🔬 Different definitions of fun, different world views, different ways of living - it’s just…different. And quite frankly, it can sometimes make us want to shy away or keep our Islam on the low so we don't feel singled out from the rest of our classmates. But how do we deal with this conundrum? How do we deal with our Muslim-ness? How do we even become unapologetically Muslim? 🤔 Hear insights from none other than Brother Shoaib Hussain - aka. ‘The Sunnah Guy’!🙌 The Sunnah Guy is a public Islamic speaker, influencer, entrepreneur, film-maker and youth worker.🎥 Tune in as he shares his own journey, tackling this conundrum and drops all the gems he has picked up through his work 💎 🥳 PS.

    S3 EP1 | But I'm Just a Uni Student? - Unlocking Your Potential w/ Sister Raz Aziz

    🤔We've all thought about it... Our socials are flooded with people hitting massive milestones, having an entire business at 18 and the list doesn't stop! 🚀 It can eat at us when we feel like we aren't 'doing enough', especially as university students who are trying to make sense of our lectures, fit in our sleep and family time, trying to navigate what we want to do in the future and all emotions that come with being a university student 🎢 🔮We hear our older brothers and sisters tell us that "the future is our youth" and that "we have imaginable potential"..... but what does really mean? what does that look like? how do we tap into our potential? 🔓 Hear and get inspired from none other than sister Raz Aziz 🙌 📱Follow her on instagram @razazziz for more content!
