About the Speakers

HOSAI MOJADDADI is the co-founder of MH4M (Mental Health 4 Muslims).  She has been actively involved with the Muslim community in the San Francisco Bay Area and the southern California community for nearly 15 years. Working for several non-profit organizations in various capacities as well as a Qur'an teacher and lecturer over the years, has afforded her the wonderful opportunity to meet thousands of Muslims from different backgrounds and in the process develop many deep and lasting relationships both personally and professionally.  She has also been able to gauge the mental health issues of the larger community firsthand by serving as a private mediator, advisor and mentor to many. She started MH4M with Dr. Nafisa Sekandari because she is passionate about providing a unique and tailored approach to mental health support and recognizes the desperate need for such a service in the Muslim community.  Sister Hosai is also the Co-host of "Insights: Muslim Women Unscripted" which airs live every Monday from 5-6 PM on  www.onelegacyradio.com.

 

IMAM KHALID LATIF is Executive Director and Chaplain (Imam) for the Islamic Center at New York University (NYU).  In 2005, Imam Latif was appointed the first Muslim chaplain at NYU. At NYU, Khalid initiated his vision for a pluralistic American Muslim community, rooted on campus and reaching out to the city. In 2006, Imam Latif was appointed the first Muslim chaplain at Princeton University. In 2007, Imam Latif's position was fully institutionalized at New York University, and so he committed himself to that institution and the building of a Muslim life institution. Today's Islamic Center is a leader among American Muslim organizations, uniquely shaped to contribute to the future of Muslim practice in the West.
