Our alumna @nadine_natour (far left, in red) worke Our alumna @nadine_natour (far left, in red) worked as associate producer on the award-winning documentary @rbgmovie. She shared the following thoughts and behind-the-scenes photos of her time with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “RBG was an inspiration to me, and it was an honor to meet her and help tell her story. From afar, I knew her as a living legend, but through working on the documentary, I was able to learn so much more about her strategic brilliance, her incredible work ethic, her dedication to fairness. She changed the legal landscape for all women in America, impacting so many lives for the better, and I sincerely hope we can carry on her legacy for generations to come.” You can view RBG on @hulu, @amazonprimevideo, and other streaming platforms.

Growing up in New York City as the youngest child Growing up in New York City as the youngest child of immigrants from Mali, Kadidiatou Magassa has been an activist since early age. Now a master’s student at @columbia, she hopes to pursue a career in policy or public service to address humanitarian issues across the globe. Kadidiatou’s commitment to improving the world for Muslims and other marginalized communities is the reason we started our Congressional Fellowship Program, a yearlong, full-time Hill position: to increase Muslim American representation in government and empower young trailblazers to improve policies that will make a lasting difference for our community. We know our fellows will continue to change the world, but need the financial backing to keep them going. Visit the link in our bio to donate toward their—and our—success.

Meet Mustafa! Mustafa Alemi is the first of two yo Meet Mustafa! Mustafa Alemi is the first of two young Muslim Americans selected for ISF’s Congressional Fellowship Program. Over the coming year, he will work in the office of Congresswoman @rashidatlaib, who serves the 13th District of Michigan. Mustafa recently shared the following with ISF: "As a Muslim and child of immigrants, I am inspired to pursue a career in policy and public service to advocate for progressive change and address the systemic issues facing underrepresented communities like my own. Given the current sociopolitical climate in the United States, I believe there has never been a more critical time for American Muslims to work together to overcome the challenges facing our community." Please join us in welcoming Mustafa! We'll announce our second Fellow soon and share all the exciting things the two are doing over the coming year.
