Unpacking the Meaning of Oppression | Ayesha Haq | TEDxUCincinnati

As a Muslim woman in America, Ayesha Haq has been told many different narratives about her and her identity. In a time and culture that is often so quick to put false labels on someone based on appearance, gender, religion, or any other number of factors, how can we cultivate an environment in which individuals feel heard and represented?

Ayesha Haq is a J.D candidate at the UC College of Law. Currently, she is involved with the Human Rights Quarterly and Asian Pacific American Law Students’ Association. Ayesha’s goal is to create an American society where people from different cultures, backgrounds, and ethnicities are celebrated for their unique differences.
