My name is Zayna Bandsari, and I'm honored

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

to participate in Sheikha Fest, which will take

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

place in New Jersey on June 24.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

Sheikha Fest will bring an array of international

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

scholars, activists,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

speakers, and presenters

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

to address,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

issues of concern to Muslim women today.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

Sheikh Hafez will be a celebration of Muslim

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

women's scholarship,

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

both past and present.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

I encourage you to learn more and to

which promises to be an extraordinary

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

And, inshallah, will seek to answer the perennial

Thank you so much. I look forward to
