ABOUT
My grandmother Sitty Misada could not read but she knew the value of education. Even though money was hard to come by, she made sure to hire a tutor in the summers so that my mom and her siblings could get a head start in school. I started the Misada Family Literacy Organization in honor of my grandmother. Her struggles, her perseverance and her belief that education is empowering will live on, inshaaAllah through her grandchildren, great grandchildren and inshaaAllah the Misada Family Literacy Organization. This organization will serve as a liaison between the Muslim community in Cleveland and the various local literacy programs.
