Yasmeen's Story

Hi, hello, howdy! I'm so glad you're here. 

When I was a newly engaged woman, I searched high and low in my state for an imam to marry my Catholic-raised Athiest fiance and me. The search and subsequent rejections for a local imam were disheartening and frustrating to say the least. I stumbled upon MPV and was near tears when they agreed to officiate. MPV was the MVP for my hopes to have a Muslim fusion wedding.

After my wedding, I kept up with the happenings of MPV around the US and the world. It became abundantly clear that these were my people.

As a biracial Black and South Asian Muslim woman born and raised in the South, it's been a lifelong challenge to find a group that shares my faith and progressive values. It has been a blessing to find a community of progressive Muslims.

I'm so proud and grateful to be part of this amazing organization. With MPV I found community and it’s my goal to pay it forward in fostering community and holding space for those that are looking for their people.

Your donations help MPV continue their important work, especially now, in advocating for equality, women and LGBTQIA+ rights, for the separation of religion and state, and for freedom of conscience.

Join our community and donate today!
