Nurah is a wife, a mother, a mentor and a community ‘actionist’ in her home city of Camden, New Jersey. She is an instructor/trainer, keynote speaker and actively involved in the local political, social and educational movements that are currently underway.
Nurah’s passion is being of service to her community, with a strong focus on young women and youth. She believes that too many of our youth are crippled by fear, feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. She stresses that “Competence Breeds Confidence.” To that end, she encourages young people to move beyond their comfort zones, tackle new challenges and engage with new people. In that way, each small victory will be the foundation leading to even greater victories.
