Roshaan Misbach
Roshaan is the ameera and one of the founding members of the Light upon Light Women’s Foundation and Light upon Light Consulting Services.
With an aching desire to affect change within herself, she left her corporate career as business analyst, trainer and facilitator, and dove into a study of Quran at Darun Naim Institute for Higher Learning, where she graduated from.
During this period she acted upon the desire to impact and help youth and women. She offered spiritual, emotional and life skills training and workshops to her community and beyond merging her corporate skills with her Islamic learning entrenched in Quran and Sunnah.
Countless women, youth and madrassa educators have taken benefit from the workshops offered and continue to do so.
