“Jerin Arifa … has continued to impress and inspire me. … Whether through political organizing, speaking to diverse audiences, using her professional marketing skills or mentoring and connecting with individual women and girls, her passion and grace is evident. As a Muslim woman of color, she tirelessly works to improve the feminist movement … - even in the face of racism and Islamophobia. … I have seen firsthand Jerin’s dedication to empowering young people to take the reigns. I feel lucky to know Jerin, and believe the world is a much better place because she’s in it.”
