VOA Panel Discussion: Being Young and Muslim in America


The Voice of America invites you to a panel discussion:

Being Young and Muslim in America

What are the social challenges facing Muslim Millennials in the United States? The transition to Western culture has not been difficult for most, but some have resisted and found themselves vulnerable to conflicting points of view, particularly online. We'll explore why.

A question and answer session, hosted by Akmal Dawi, Digital Managing Editor of VOA's Afghanistan Service, will follow the one-hour discussion.

Panelists will include:

Oya Rose Aktas, a recent college graduate of Turkish background living in Washington, D.C​

Mohamed Hussein, Executive Director, Somali American Youth Foundation

Morsal Mohamad, President, Afghan Students Association, The George Washington University

Othman Altalib, Board Member, Adams Center, Washington, DC
