"No one with the name Islam..."
Recently, I received a message on Twitter telling me that I don’t belong in office. The reason?
Honestly, I’m not surprised -- this isn’t the first time I’ve been harassed for who I am.
But I am surprised that this person has so completely lost sense of what it means to be American. This country is supposed to be a place where everyone has a chance to succeed, no matter their background.
Someone like me holding office isn’t a threat to this country -- it’s the realization of the American dream.
If you believe someone with the last name Islam belongs in Congress, chip in today to help make it happen.
Our diversity is our strength,
Nabilah Islam
