A mother of one daughter, she is a Palestinian Muslim American who was raised in Chicago, Illinois, who began her college years at Knoxville, Tennessee, and who graduated from the University of Minnesota. She has used her time in Minnesota to help build and strengthen the United States' Muslim communities, as well as those communities' ties to other marginalized groups. She co-founded an educational outreach organization, through which she gave talks to local groups, dispelling negative stereotypes about Islam and Muslims. She has also been trained in Restorative Justice at the Center for Spirituality and Healing and has given workshops to social workers on how to work effectively with youth and Muslim patients. In 2003, she was a community columnist for the Pioneer Press. In 2006, she helped start up a civil rights organization, through which she mentored young leaders. From 2008 to 2009, she was a policy fellow at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, and, in 2009, she started as a blogger for the Star Tribune and worked on helping Minnesotans understand Islam and Muslims. Also in 2009, she and her siblings began a new journey, taking care of their mother, who had suffered a major stroke. In 2020, she published God Intervenes Between A Person and Their Heart.view less
