Muslim Sheroes of MN S3 E6: Naheed & Yusra

Meet Naheed and Yusra Murad. Naheed and Yusra are not only mother-and-daughter but also co-leaders of ZACAH (Zakat, Aid and Charity Assist Humanity). When the COVID-19 pandemic and the Uprising following George Floyd's murder left thousands of Minnesotans without secure housing, ZACAH became one of the only organizations to provide an immediate, unconditional hotel stay for anyone who needed it. Today, Naheed and Yusra are a pair of the most prominent advocates for supportive housing in Minnesota.

Muslim Sheroes of Minnesota is Reviving Sisterhood's storytelling project to showcase the women in our community who aren't waiting for permission to change the world.
