In this video, we sit down with Tawus Safwan to talk about growing up in Egypt as a young African-American after moving from Brooklyn during the Arab Spring. He shares what it was like adjusting to a new culture, learning Arabic, and facing racism from Egyptian kids before becoming part of the community. Tawus also reflects on how Egyptian youth see life today, the influence of Western culture, and gives advice to parents planning to move their children abroad for Islamic education.
