CBC Vancouver’s Jason D’Souza spoke with Nada Elmasry, a 26 year old Muslim woman living in Vancouver.
‘It gets worse when you’re not just a Muslim; you’re a woman, you’re visibly Muslim, possibly you’re an immigrant’
– Nada Elmasry
She shares some of experience of being both a woman and a Muslim, while addressing a number of important misconceptions, all in under 8 minutes.
‘Once you know a person — once you actually know them face-to-face — you know them at a personal level. It becomes harder for us to believe those negative stories that we hear all the time on TV.’
