Shamar, IMAN’s first Public Allies Intern, was born and raised on Chicago’s Southside and has been volunteering with IMAN for three years. Shamar has an Associates Degree in Science and Technology from Langston University in Oklahoma.

After returning to Chicago in 2003 Shamar served as the Youth Coordinator for The Mosque Foundation and also studied Arabic under the tutelage of Sheik Bedridden. Shamar was a long time volunteer at Masjid at Al-Ihsan and also has hopes to one day develop a non-profit institution that does community based work.
