Musleh presents a free program on the Women of Islam at 2 p.m.
Saturday Mar. 5 at the Kenosha Public Museum. Musleh was born is
Ramalllah (West Bank), Palestine and has lived in Illinois and Texas
as well as in Kenosha for the past 14 years.
Musleh
works as a floral manager where she manages three floral departments
within Piggy Wiggly locations. She also teaches Floral Design at the
University of Wisconsin Parkside and occasionally at the Kenosha
Public Museum.
Latifa
will share her
personal experiences of being a Muslim woman. She answers some of the
stereotypical questions she is often asked; whether or not Muslim
women can choose their own spouses or if all marriages are arranged,
if a male in the family can force a woman to cover her hair (Hijab),
and if Muslim women are oppressed or liberated. Learn what it is like
to be a Muslim in 21st
century America. This program is free and open to the public.
