Paving the way: What it’s like being the first Muslim woman elected to office in N.C.

Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam made state history when she was elected to office, becoming the first Muslim woman to win a seat in North Carolina. As she was sworn-in, however, the excitement was subdued by 15 hateful voicemails she received that morning.

But that's just the beginning of the story.

On this episode of “Tying It Together With Tim Boyum,” Tim talks with Allam, whose tale is, in a way, about achieving the American dream. Her path to elected office, however, was anything but easy.

The story includes racism and even a homicide. Despite that, she's paving a path for other young Muslim women to follow in her footsteps.
