@saharramm: Becoming a physician as a woman and a Muslim has its own barriers. Not many people from cultural communities get to obtain higher level of education because it is repeatedly believed that a women should be dependent on a man and a man is a sole provider for a household. I’m lucky that my parents always supported all my educational goals in life and that I can even serve as a lil role model to other Muslim women who really want to chase their dreams. #fyp #muslimah #muslimtiktok #palestinian #womeninmedicine
had to cut my family out because they had the mindset of I can’t be an independent female and should marry. People ask why I still support Islam after going through that and I’m just like ??? It was the culture not religion lol it’s just crazy people can’t understand that

!!!! It also makes me sad bc it would be so empowering to have doctors who look like us, and speak like us, and live like us, but we’re so under-represented bc of culture’s stigmatized lens on women pursuing dreams beyond marriage and building a family

I feel we're also in a time + location that has encouraged more women and young girls to exercise our right to choose, Alhamdulillah. We are so fortunate for this. You're a superstar for choosing to become an ER doctor 👏👏

The majority of doctors I work with are single FOB women who don’t even have family in the US.

Agree 10000%. My parents were criticized so heavily for “letting” me move away for college. Can’t imagine the resentment I’d feel if I was held back due to parents who were scared of what others thought.

It’s so unfortunate that in our communities the only achievement that people want to celebrate for women is marriage.

Reminder for both men and women. Education is for you, this is the one thing you are truly doing for yourself. Go do that residency in a great program. Do 2 residencies. Be as educated as possible. At the end of this very short life you will be asked what you did with your youth, no better way to answer by the service of humanity.

Our communities are often our biggest enemies. Women are the foundation for ANY community advancement. Reducing us to maintaining the patriarchy status quo is so unfortunate

The cultural setbacks really piss me off. And back in a the day they would lie to women to make them believe it was haram and make it about religion and it pisses me off even more.

I was the first girl in my family to go to college and not get married straight out of high school- while I was able to break those barriers, the only red line for my parents was moving away. I was able to get a masters in my hometown, and establish a solid career, but I’m so happy my younger cousins and now our daughters were and are able to pursue things outside of their hometown. Remember - just because mom wasn’t able to break all generational curses, doesn’t mean she didn’t break any. Fly high, neices, we khaltos are proud of you 🥰🥰🥰

I a lot more Muslim women would be exceedingly more successful if our families supported us instead of worrying what the community thinks 🥺☹️
