The story behind MWBN: how two Muslim women turned their own experience of isolation in business into a community built for belonging.

Every community starts somewhere. MWBN started with two women who, in very different ways, knew exactly what was missing.

What does “Founding Member” pricing mean at MWBN? Here’s what’s included, what it costs, and why timing matters if you’re considering applying.

If you’re considering applying to MWBN, there’s one detail worth understanding clearly before you decide whether to apply now or wait: the difference between joining as a Founding Member and joining later.

Applications for the founding MWBN Manchester Membership are open. Here’s exactly how to apply, why women are joining, and who this community is really for.

Until now, most of what people know about MWBN membership has come from being in the room: our taster sessions, our WhatsApp community, and conversations after events ended.

That’s exactly how a community should grow at first. But today, we’re saying it properly and publicly: applications for the founding MWBN Manchester Membership are open, and our first meeting as a membership takes place on 11th September 2026. If you’ve been curious but waiting for “the real announcement” this is it.

Reflections from the How we Rise Panel Networking Event at BMHC Manchester.

As the year comes to an end, many of us feel the familiar pressure creeping in.

Did I do enough? Achieve enough? Become enough?
