Granddaughter of a well-known community member in New Jersey, Mohammad Yousseff, Sr. Tammy Elmansoury knew from a young age that Islam would play a central role in her life. After receiving two master’s degrees in Islamic and African Studies from SOAS University of London, she taught in post-secondary institutions along the East Coast, before joining Noor ul-Iman School as the high school division head. She also started HijabFest six years ago to encourage young women wearing hijab. As the wife of Dr Shadee Elmasry, the founder of Safina Society, she also devotes much of her time to serving the community at New Brunswick Islamic Center. It’s no wonder that she acts as an incredible role model for young Muslim women in the area. In this episode, she talks about the importance of seeking knowledge as a woman, having the correct intention when it comes to hijab and prioritizing deen within the family.
