As women in business, we are inspired and empowered every day by the amazing women around us. After reading this story, it became clear to me that our future as women is bright and we are stronger than ever.

This month, YouTube make up tutorial star Nura Afia created history by becoming the first CoverGirl to wear a hijab in the beauty line’s TV and digital ad campaigns. She is a brand herself, with 215,000 YouTube subscribers on her beauty tips channel. She promotes confidence in all women, which is something we all need a dose of here and there.

Having a role model in business can help empower us and give confidence to become who we want to be. Nura Afia is surely a role model to many women in business!

We all have something that makes us feel different and Nura Afia has inspired us to promote our differences and understand that we are all beautiful no matter what. Instead of being insecure, we can get ahead by being ourselves and anything can happen.

Beauty for all!
