About this episode
Shownotes:
Senator Ghazala Hashmi representing Virginia District 10, the first Muslim elected to the Virginia State Senate, represents historic political change and joins us today to discuss how 2017 rhetoric propelled her from education to politics. How does a normal Muslim American mom make change like this and why is it important for Muslim immigrants and their kids to be actively engaged in American politics? This lifelong educator also gives us tips on success within the world of online learning, so you’ll want to hear those gems!
Learn about EMGAGE and its role in serving Muslim Americans running for office across the nation. Organizations like this are training young people to do important work towards political and social change, so don’t forget these groups during Ramadan!
