Prianka Alam has retained the dedication to helping her family and Muslim community in Maryland that she learned as a young immigrant child. The financial uncertainty growing up has prompted a craving for stability and security as an adult, in short a boring life. These desires drove Prianka to focus on her education, career path and a husband who would be Muslim and a good partner for future children. She has found all of that and more, though it brings the expected stress and demand to wear many hats – DEI professional, wife, mother, daughter, student of Islam and volunteer as a board member of Penny Appeal USA. COVID increased the need to juggle competing demands, while Ramadan offers her ease, more open time for studying the Qur’an, and guiding her children.
Highlights:
· It is difficult to be a Muslim in the US, but she’s grateful for the struggle.
· Government policies and social attitudes affect how she lives as a Muslim. The family’s safety is always considered.
· She’s rarely seen colleagues who are also Muslim, a woman of color, or South Asian.
· Islam inspires her to work with purpose and help those in need.
· Ramadan is an opportunity to study the Qur’an and celebrate with her family and community.
