"Jerin ... built a completely new channel for us. With very little direction, she built a very successful new business for us ...  she drove over 75 new leads per month and 40 deals. Over the course of the year ...  she helped drive $1 million in new business.

Jerin can take the outline of an idea and build a complete plan. She draws on her experience, pulls ideas from others and formulates a step-by-step executable plan. She continually exceeded all expectations.

... a dynamic individual that will make an immediate impact on the business."

“Jerin Arifa … has continued to impress and inspire me. … Whether through political organizing, speaking to diverse audiences, using her professional marketing skills or mentoring and connecting with individual women and girls, her passion and grace is evident. As a Muslim woman of color, she tirelessly works to improve the feminist movement … - even in the face of racism and Islamophobia. … I have seen firsthand Jerin’s dedication to empowering young people to take the reigns. I feel lucky to know Jerin, and believe the world is a much better place because she’s in it.”
