I am a 47 year old female Muslim and my talks aim to inform, educate and inspire through not only the teachings of Islam, but how it's message can empower and motivate all members of humanity to deal with life's challenges. I am also a teacher with over 20 years of experience, enabling me to offer an interactive, relevant presentation, whilst remaining adaptable according to the reaction of the audience in front of me. I am also a published author (I'm not a Celebrity I am a Muslim, Unveiling Arabia and The Voice of Palestine) and enjoy writing poems that express both the vulnerability and strength of humanity. I have been pursuing public speaking as a paid hobby, but will attend events voluntarily if the organisation requires it. My talks can cover topics ranging from the very basics of Islam to exploring gender equality and how it has been exploited throughout Islamic history. I have several years of experience presenting specifically on Islam, and more recently on the concept of 'white privilege' and my experience of racism as a British Muslim. I have also talked about being an author, discussing the misconstrued views and politically driven motivations that build on globally misconceived perceptions. I welcome challenging topics and promise an expression of honesty, sprinkled with a sense of humour! Please see testimonials below. I hope the above has summarised the purpose of my presentations. Please feel free to make further enquiries if you have any questions. Testimonials: Sahera Patel is an engaging and inspiring woman. Her honesty and openness to discuss and share her faith and values is refreshing and informative. I was delighted that she led the Women and Islam session for teachers as part of a Craven DEC twilight training course on Understanding Islam and Countering Islamophobia in Sept 2017. (Fiona Protheroe, Craven Development Education Centre) Last year, Sahera Patel came to talk to the Mothers’ Union in Gomersal. She came without any hesitation and talked to us openly about her Muslim background, her pilgrimage and her family life. She answered the many questions we had and we all completely took to her friendliness and openness. We were so impressed with her presentation that we have booked her again for next year. She is the perfect ambassador for bringing different cultures together. (Trees Fewster, Branch leader, St Mary’s Church, Gomersall) Sahera Patel is an articulate lady possessed of a wide vocabulary which enabled her to pen her autobiographical work I'M NOT A CELEBRITY, I AM A MUSLIM. I have heard her speaking, as a Muslim, to audiences in Manchester, where she has been very well received. She explains her faith fluently with humour and with obvious love which also extends to her audiences. They repay her by asking questions which she answers with deep knowledge of her subject. Her intelligence and sincerity are always patently obvious. It is a great pleasure to be present on these occasions. (Lionel Ross)

I am by no means a special human being. Growing up I had a 2.4 GPA in high school. I was unmotivated, undisciplined, with no goals, dreams, or ambitions. However, in September of 2016 my life changed for the better. I was accused of something I didn't do and I was looking at prison time. I was never the type of kid to get in trouble by the cops. I don't smoke, drink or party! Which is a rare thing for people now a days. It's quite common for someone to do at least 1/3 of those activities. But in looking at potential prison time, it awakened something in me. A different self I never knew existed and the unmotivated kid I once was started to fade away as a new behavior began to take over. I became extremely obsessed with self development. So much to the point I knew I wanted to spread this knowledge to other people and help them overcome the obstacles I have had to overcome so far and then some. That is how I found inspirational speaking. During the discovery of my ability to speak very well and natural niche for wanting to help others I discovered a variety of different topics that every day people experience in their lifetimes. Being able to master these what I like to call "elements" will not only allow me to have more of an impact on people but also make me a very powerful and knowledgeable speaker. The elements I concluded are as follows: Sex, Religion, Social Media, Substance Abuse, Inner Circle, Finances, Relationships, and Politics. These elements hit all areas of life depending on the person which gives me the ability to potentially speak to everyone. So, now I am on my journey to be like the next Tony Robbins but more impactful and powerful. Thats how we grow as a society. By seeing a legend and beating them so you can become a legend yourself so one day someone can be greater than you. I am a huge believer in growth and critical thinking skills and in order for society to thrive it needs to be taught. Especially to young minds.

A PA native, husband, father, grandfather. I joined the military straight out of high school. After serving my first four years in the Army I separated and tried my hand as a civilian, which didn't suit me at the time, so I turned to active National Guard service for a year. Still wanting more of that life, I re-enlisted in the service, this time in the Air Force as an Intelligence Analyst for 13 years, then followed that with seven years as a First Sergeant where my primary duty was taking care of Airmen and our civilian employees from discipline issues at work to lives falling apart outside of the military. As both an analyst and First Sergeant, public speaking was a critical part of the job. In the latter, those speaking events were nearly always about leadership in some fashion. As a First Sergeant, I was at the top of the leadership chain just under the unit commander and in those seven years I was trained in leadership philosophies and experienced all manner of situations that call for strong leadership. Today, I speak about leadership and the variety of subtopics that fall into that broad category from communication to teamwork to personal growth.
