Maryland, USA (IINA) - Offering a solution to one of the prevalent problems faced by hijab wearing women when the weather is hot, an American Muslim student has launched an initiative to create Islamic headscarves that ventilate in hot weather, according to media reports.
While balancing life and schoolwork as a junior at the University of Maryland, Omar Goheer has taken on another role as the founder and CEO of a company that sells ideal headscarves for women.
Goheer, a chemistry and economics major, created K. Sultana, a company that manufactures and sells lightweight headscarves that ventilate well in hot temperatures, The Univeristy of Marylands' Independent Student Newspaper reported.
Inspired by his mother, Kishwer Sultana, a single parent who provided for Goheer’s family by starting a daycare business, Goheer wanted to create a company that could promote women’s entrepreneurship.
“It is really rare that you have a product that does what it is says, looks good, is so simple and wearable and also gives to a great cause that I really believe in,” Beidi Luo, a junior said.
Goheer said he plans to expand and develop his business while working with the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship’s Fearless Founders program as well as Startup Shell.
Aisha Ali, a junior finance and international business major and K. Sultana’s chief marketing officer, said Goheer’s leadership skills have helped lead the company to success.
