Salwa Medani has been a member of the IKRAM Board for almost 5 years. Salwa received her Master’s degree in Linguistics from George Mason University, at a time when her daughters were young and she was going through the challenges of single parenthood. The empowerment of women is near and dear to her heart -especially divorced and widowed Muslim women- because she knows first-hand the types of struggles they encounter on a daily basis. Salwa is grateful to be part of this great organization that strives to help struggling, hard-working, and dedicated women to become self-sufficient for themselves and their families.
