“Rising Beyond The Ceiling (RBTC) is a global initiative to shine a spotlight on achievements and contributions of Muslim women of India, both in the country and in countries around the world. The vision of RBTC is 3 Cs- Celebrating Achievements, Changing Stereotypes and Creating Leadership Opportunities.
The United States RBTC 100 Global Inspirations List seeks to spotlight Muslim women from India who have made their mark in different professions in the USA. The 100 stories capture the resilience, challenges and their immigrant experience in building a career in a new environment and country.
All RBTC 100 USA honorees have done their initial studies in educational institutions in India and later moved to the USA. They have contributed and received accolades and successes in the many fields from academics and medicine to arts and entrepreneurship. The 100 honorees, are a source of pride their country of origin, to their Alma Mater institutions in India and to communities in the USA.
RBTC 100 Global Honorees profiles serve as an inspiration and role model for the next generation of Indian, as well as all immigrant women, who are working and dreaming to make an impact in the world. They also contribute to changing the stereotype narrative surrounding the 100 million women today in India who identify themselves as Muslim.”
