With courage and determination, she confronts misconceptions head-on, encouraging others to challenge themselves despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Introducing Amira the Wanderlust international mountaineer , The North Face Athlete and the Founder of The Wanderlust Womne. Amira’s adventure started with her mum, taking her on adventures when she was younger, it wasn’t the norm in her community you didn’t see Muslim women on the mountains. This sparked a love for exploring and adventure which led Amira on a solo backpacking trip. This was a journey of self discovery. Following a divorce, she connected with nature and the mountains, it became her healing space it became a place where she connected to God on a deeper level, at that moment she realised there wasn’t a space for Muslim women to connect and enjoy the outdoors & at this very moment the real adventure began. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

The North Face releases “Belonging”, a short film that follows Amira Patel through her journey of self-discovery, enriched by a celebration of sisterhood. Join her on her time through the Himalayas to the basecamp supported by a female team, each day delving into more challenging conditions and demanding a powerful sense of self to make it to her finish line.

I AM CAPABLE TRAILER After experiencing injustice when hiking in the English countryside, Amira Patel decided she wanted to help create a safe space for Muslim women outdoors. She founded her own group, the Wanderlust Women. During lockdown, Amira found a love of wild swimming: it was a place of stillness, in which she could connect to God, yet she always swam on her own… until now. For the first time ever, Amira is joined by two other women to swim together in the beauty of the Lake District. Summaya and Sham are apprehensive upon arrival; it is a big thing for them to be stepping out the box of what is deemed to be normal for Muslim women. After the initial shock wears off, they experience the transformative effect of cold-water immersion. They form a powerful sisterhood, finding strength in one another’s bravery in helping to breakdown the stereotypes and boundaries that exist. This is a film made by an all-woman crew, about women. The film was made for my final submission for my Masters in Wildlife Filmmaking from UWE.
