What can Laila do?
Ever met an engineer that's an exceptional baker? Or what about a blank that's a blank? Well, I am neither of those people, but what I am is a change agent with a belief that I can make the world a better place by showing up as myself and empowering others to do so as well. That's why you'll find me strategizing behind a computer, delivering a powerful speech in front of a large crowd, building communities and planning life-changing vacations in any given week. Every person and business is unique- that's why I tailor all of my services to meet your specific needs. Take a moment to read about my services and decide which one meets your current needs. As always, I’m happy to help.-
Adept at helping organizations solve complex business problems and devising invaluable organizational strategies. My people-first approach seamlessly builds bridges between the organization’s mission and those entrusted to fulfill it.

Over the last 10 years I’ve spoken at universities, nonprofit organizations, companies, and on the radio to bring awareness to issues that are impacting communities locally & globally.

Yes, I am one of those people that will “spontaneously” pop up in India, Greece or Kenya on any given Tuesday.
I’ve also been on a hot air balloon in Egypt, skydived a few times and photographed whales, bears and other wildlife in North America….also on a Tuesday?
Sounds fun? It is. I put thought and care into all my travel plans in advance so that I can confidently and easily make “spontaneous” decisions during my travels.
With my guidance- you can enjoy an experience of a lifetime.

Laila Abdallah is the founder and president of Rooted Ummah, an all-Muslim-led nonprofit organization that aims to revolutionize how Muslims come together in the modern world. She is a Palestinian-American Hijabi Muslim woman living in the United States.
With a masters in Public Health and over 10 years of experience in event planning, team building and community engagement, Laila leads interactive retreats and vacations all over the world including the United States, India, Mexico, Palestine, Greece, Egypt, Spain and Puerto Rico. She is a leader in her community and an activist seeking to uplift Muslim voices.

How does Laila do it?
My approach is simple: I believe in people. While technology and businesses continue to evolve to meet society’s need- I know one thing to be true: people come first. That’s why all of my work centers around serving people-the hardworking people brining your mission and vision to life and the countless number of people relying on your product and/or services. I have a master’s degree (MPH), a project management certificate (PMP) and over a decade of experience developing leaders, implementing strategic solutions, and getting creative with planning personalized trainings, workshops, global travel experiences, and more!
Interested in working together? Check out my services or contact me directly.
I’d love to get to know you. Let’s change the world.
“Laila is an absolute pleasure to work with. Laila’s work ethic is unmatched, she is a quick thinker and problem solver. Laila is an expert at process improvement and the ins and outs of operational settings. She has an upbeat positive spirt and brings light to any team she works on.”
