Tasneem is a Cross Cultural Consultant, and Chairperson of the Islamic Women’s Welfare Council of Victoria. She freelances in Event Coordination, organising the first symposium on Australian Muslim Achievers (Vic) 2007, and the “Sounds of Light 2008” Melbourne concert. She advocates for the positives Muslims have contributed here and on social justice issues impacting upon women. 1. What is the link between your spirituality and your creativity? Both are inherently soul inspired forces. They intersect when I can use my faith to inform my perspective on social norms as they play out locally and globally. I employ my spirituality in creative ways to make reason of misconceptions, which becomes increasingly neccessary in a chaotic world. 2. Where do you draw your inspiration from? A combination of inspirational people who impress me as very grounded, knowledgeable and humble. Between them and the positive feedback from the odd presentation I give, I'm inclined to keep going. 3. What will you be hoping to take away from the CSP event? InshAllah I look upon this conference as a networking coup. I’m expecting to be continually amazed at the endless aptitude of experts there; a steep learning curve ahead of me. With so much prodigious talent in one room, it’s sure to be a creative-genius-fest!
