How Did I Get Here? Tahanie Aboushi and Running for Office

Muslim Bar Association of New York

Tahanie Aboushi, the first Palestinian-American and Muslim woman to run for Manhattan District Attorney, joins us to discuss her experiences with the criminal justice system and how those experiences led her to the legal profession and, ultimately running for Manhattan DA. She also discusses her role as a private practitioner and how she approaches the obstacles of being a Muslim attorney who wears hijab. Aboushi provides candid insight and advice on navigating legal and political realms, especially for anyone interested in seeking public office.
