My academic journey has been deliberately shaped to equip me with the necessary skills and knowledge to undertake research on the intersectional oppression faced by Black Muslim women in Canada. I hold a B.A. in Political Science with a Minor in Human Rights from Concordia University. Subsequently, I pursued a M.A. in Islamic Studies with a concentration in Gender and Women’s Studies at McGill University. I am currently a PhD student in Communication Studies at Concordia University, where I pursue my research interests in anti-Black Islamophobia, media representation, and Muslim women.
