Date: 2022-06-15

Muslim Gamechangers Network (MGN) equips Muslim teens with tools to critically understand their world, effectively challenge injustice, and build legacies of positive change in our communities. 

Sr. Maimona Afzal Berta is the main guest speaker in this session on power, stereotypes, and knowledge. Stereotyping and power are mutually reinforcing because stereotyping itself exerts control, maintaining and justifying the status quo.
