Thank you, Marcel. Yeah, I would say I'm a lifelong advocate. From a young age growing up as a Muslim in America, in a post 911 world, you were forced to advocate for yourself at every corner, there were a lot of misconceptions around what it meant to be Muslim in America, regardless of your race, or your ethnic background, and your socio economic status. So Muslims in the United States really had to advocate for their identity, whatever that meant, you know, from day one. So I found myself as a young middle school student, not really being represented in my school curriculum. I was one of those students that hated studying history, because history never reflected my history and never reflected the history of people who look like me. It was something that, you know, it was just very bizarre until one day in high school, one of my history teachers kind of gave us an approach that was a bit different than usual. And from that point, studying the existence of black people in the United States, the forced displacement of black Africans from the coast of West Africa, into the Caribbean, and then into the United States. And then the development from there on really fascinated me. I moved beyond that into the advocacy space. And from a young age I was, you know, as a resident of Sacramento, I was at the State Capitol in high school, knocking door to door, visiting assembly members and senators dropping off letters of support for bills that impacted my community is a very valuable experience that now looking back at it, I don't see many people do let alone people who are that young, I was blessed to be surrounded with mentors to be surrounded by adults who empowered me. And that showed me that my voice mattered, no matter how old I was. And no matter what the color of my skin was, from that point on, I really was a believer in advocacy, I believe that no matter the issue, if you can educate people enough, and empower them enough, and give them an avenue to advocate for themselves, that the sky was the limit. From there on my educational career took that shift from someone who did not like history at all growing up, you know, becoming someone who studied and specialized in African American Studies and Political Science, kind of bridging the gap between my African identity. And then my want to understand the American political system, the global political system, society, how people interact, how people, you know, solidify their identity in their societies. And that, you know, was a really fruitful journey and experience that yielded many positive results and ultimately ended in me joining public health advocates, which you know, after several years in the Civil Rights world, and working on religious freedoms, and ethnic and, you know, race based a freedom shifting to field like public health, which is ever so expanding, and inclusive of the conversation of racism as a public health crisis.
