Episode 7: The Prayer Space
from Miseducation Hosted by The Bell
My name is Adnaan Elahi. I’m a high school senior and a Muslim student. I go to an incredibly diverse high school in East Harlem.

And when you hit some obstacles, how do you address them? Want exclusive content from Miseducation? Join us on Patreon.
