Hannah Abbasi - From Christian to Muslim to Secular Humanist, Part 1
Divorced: Christianity
PART 1 – FROM CHRISTIAN TO MUSLIM

My guest today is Hannah Abbasi, a transplant to New York City from Austin, Texas. As an adult, she has also lived in Qom, Beirut, and Cairo. At the University of Texas at Austin, Hannah studied Religious Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, and History with a minor in Arabic Language. She went on to study at Islamic seminaries in Iran and Lebanon and completed her Master’s of Science in Education from the City College of New York in 2018.

Hannah eventually co-founded AN-NAS, an ethics-based community for humanists from Muslim backgrounds. In this episode, Hannah shares about her life from childhood up to college.
