International Women's History Month at Marie's at Ummat's in East Atlanta

Exhibit of newspaper, magazine clippings of the contributions of Muslim women from here in metro Atlanta and around the world.
 
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. - March 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Let's recognize some local and international sheroes on Saturday, March 23. An exhibit comprised of newspaper, magazine clippings, bios and photos of Muslim women who are teaching (here and aboard), social activist, entrepreneurs, academic, medical, legal professionals, space explorers and Nobel Prize nominees and prize winners will be displayed at Marie's at Ummat's Cafe Saturday, March 23 from 1 pm-4 pm.

The exhibit began in the early 2000s as an answer to the question "Where are the Muslim women?" So often people rely on the images of Muslim women being victims of war or abused helpless beings portrayed by the media that they overlook the vibrant and productive Muslim women right in front of them working in our communities everyday.

Marie's at Ummat's is a Muslim family owned and managed eating establishment next door to the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam at 566 Fayetteville Rd SE. The restaurant menu combines great healthy down home southern style cuisine with charm and class. Come by and view the exhibit and also enjoy the herbal teas, fresh vegetables, traditional and vegetarian entrees served daily at the restaurant.

Bring the family! The event is open to the public and free.
