When life is molded with striving and perseverance, both motherhood and professional achievement can blend together.
Dr. Gülhanım Bayrak stands as one of the best illustrations of this fact.
As she raised eight children, whom she considered a responsibility to the Ummah, she became a distinguished pediatric specialist.
Yet, her story is much more than this; following her own words, Bayrak, who made “having a generous heart” her guiding principle, actively participated in many benevolent projects.
In this Year of the Family, we are honoring this inspiring, diligent woman with our Benevolence Award, who carries the essence of motherhood and family in her heart, while also excelling in her career.
Dr. Gülhanım Bayrak proves that a woman can excel as both a devoted mother and a a distinguished professional.
Her story serves as an inspiring force that defies the norm.
