Shareda Hosein
One of my favorites from the 9/11 series, produced by myself and Lisa Tobin. The subject is Shareda Hosein, a woman who aimed to be the first female Muslim chaplain in the U.S. military. She was at the seminary when the twin towers fell, and she recounts her complicated feelings after the tragedy, and how she was treated completely differently depending on which uniform she was wearing—that of a Muslim woman or U.S. soldier.
