A Letter from Khaulat

I was You 3 Years Ago

Who am I? I feel like I’m living multiple lives at once and it’s exhausting. I was an entrepreneur, do I want to continue on that path? I don’t like what all the VCs and investors are indirectly forcing me to build. I just want to help and connect people.
‍
I’m researching AI and the future of work and I wonder if this is a future I want to live in. All the companies are optimizing for productivity and profit but no one’s doing anything about the job losses and the many more to come.

It’s ironic whenever I tell people that the only way they can succeed in the ‘future’ is to become a robot by keeping up with everything, learning and adapting instantly with no break. If you take a break, you lose. All for what?

Oh! I could continue into a PhD because I love research but who will apply it? I could get a big tech job, I could continue making AI courses, I could start a proper ‘tech startup’.

Where does my faith come in? I’m becoming more conscious of Allah every passing second and I feel like I have to hide my identity because of everything happening in the world. I want to speak up about all the injustice across the globe but I’m scared.

They could arrest me or kill me. I think I need a huge following and lots of savings before I can speak up.
‍
Yaaa Rabbi! Help me!

About Founder

Khaulat Abdulhakeem is a Career Design Strategist and Stanford M.S. graduate who spent 4+ years as a career coach before realizing the real solution wasn't better jobs, it was designing different lives. She has previously been an AI Researcher and Educator to 50,000+ students. As a Muslim woman who was sandwiched between rediscovering her identity and researching the future of work in Silicon Valley, the heart of most world-changing innovations, she saw first hand how the world runs and what the ‘people at the top’ prioritize. In a desperate attempt to find out where she fits in all of this, she spent a huge part of her graduate studies researching purpose, career fulfilment and the future of work from an Islamic lens. This led to the creation of the Fitrah Career Redesign framework which is the foundation of her work.
