If you have any questions about the discussion we had, feel free to reach out to Ayesha, Sobia, or Anusha on Instagram!

To see some more positive representation of Muslims, feel free to do a quick Google search for Ibtihaj Muhammad, Linda Sarsour, and  Huda Quhshi. To learn more about Islam, search for the works of Dr. Imam Omar Suleiman, Nouman Ali Khan, Yasmin Mogahed, and Mufti Menk.
