I still remember the first time that I was introduced to the local Shia Ismaili Muslim community. It was at a Chai and Chat networking event at the Ismaili Jamatkhana in Decatur. From that moment I knew that these were my people! I knew that our shared values of service, pluralism, and ethical leadership aligned so much that we would do great things together to make our wonderful City of Atlanta even better. Since that moment I have seen from afar and up close the impact the Ismaili community has had on our city and state!
