Mahnaz Shabbir is an international and national educator.
MOST REQUESTED PROGRAMS:
I AM AN AMERICAN MUSLIM WOMAN
Learn first-hand and share the experiences
of a United States citizen who is a member of a religious minority. In her presentation, Mahnaz explores how many Americans
confuse cultural practices with the Muslim faith, such as expelling the myth that Islam is oppressive to women. For example,
Muslim women were the first women in the world given the right to divorce and own property in their own name over 1,400 years
ago! Mahnaz often wears a hijab (traditional scarf) while presenting and draws upon her real-world experiences to break down
barriers and educate audiences on the true meaning of more than 7 million Muslims in the United States.
WORKING TO
MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
Mahnaz knows how to tell her story in a way that invites other people to think about their
own stories. She uses techniques that enable the audience to learn more about other people and their cultures. She challenges
them as Gandhi would, saying, “We are the change we wish to see in the world.”
CORPORATE MANAGERS TRAINING
An interactive presentation specially designed for corporate managers, which focuses on Muslims and their religious practices
that might impact the workplace. With over 7 million Muslims living in the United States, most of whom are professionals in
corporations, this seminar provides valuable insight into their beliefs and practices.
MUSLIM PATIENTS: CULTURAL COMPETENCY
TRAINING FOR HOSPITALS
The key factor to cultural competency in this and other sectors is education. To this end, this
two-hour presentation for health care providers that not only covers the basics of Islam and Muslim cultural practices, but
also includes issues specific to health care providers, such as diet, gender issues, birth and death considerations, and the
Islamic view on blood transfusions, abortions, autopsies, and other common procedures.
CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT
The training is highly interactive, with questions and answers addressed throughout.
Benefits of the training
include, improved community policing through better understanding of Muslim culture, more effective interaction with Muslims
as potential victims of hate crimes or as witnesses, and a safer environment for officers as they do their job.
