Bio

Dr. Khalika Sonara

Dr. Khalika Sonara is a GP from Greater Manchester, an International Motivational Keynote Speaker, and the Founder of The Forerunners Community (formerly Strivers). Through online sessions and in-person events, she empowers like-minded believers on a journey of spiritual growth, character building, productivity, Prophetic Leadership, and Legacy, striving together to live a life of excellence.


She also leads transformative travel experiences to Africa, creating meaningful journeys that combine travel, charity work, and personal development—venturing into the villages of Kenya to empower poor communities along with fellow believers.


In 2014, she faced significant hardship, hitting rock bottom—a turning point that led her to embark on a deep quest for knowledge, striving to be among those most beloved to her Creator. A decade later, that quest became her passion, leading her to Founding The Forerunners Community, uniting believers in pursuit of excellence. Her greatest calamity became her greatest blessing, and today, she seeks to inspire others to rise from adversity.


In July 2023, she made a bold move to Kenya for three months to teach orphans and uplift disadvantaged communities. With God's blessing, she returned with an even stronger determination and is now on a mission, God willing, to build villages in Kenya—empowering communities and shaping future leaders by teaming up with the charities on the ground.


She says: 

“Often we live our lives, but we don’t live our dreams. If you haven't lived your dreams, then have you really lived? Let us live our dreams and build our dream legacies!”


As an international keynote speaker, Dr. Khalika has inspired thousands through her powerful keynotes on pursuing big dreams, turning adversity into opportunity, and striving for personal excellence—delivering impactful talks in England, Kenya, and Makkah. Her ultimate vision, God willing, is to take the stage globally, awakening the love and worship of Allah in the hearts of millions.


Her message to the world: 

- Live a Purpose-Driven Life! 

- Rise Even Higher After Calamity! 

- Pursue the Big Dreams that were Gifted to You by Your Creator!
