She was selling Bangladeshi and Islamic clothing for 17 years out of her home before opening her storefront. Begum opened Ummah Fashion in 2018 in Hamtramck, Michigan. Begum says she is honored to serve unique designs to her community, many of which are custom-designed by her, and shipped from Bangladesh, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Here she is pictured organizing hijabs in the store during Ramadan in 2019. Begum is one of metro Detroit’s Bangladeshi Women Entrepreneurs.
“All of us need to work. No work should be undermined. If you stick with something honestly and you give dignity and hard work, then InshaAllah... you can do many things if you are serious, if you have a commitment... InshaAllah day by day you will be successful,” she says.
