Faridah Abdul-Tawwab Brown
Family Ties have served as both incubator and exemplar in the life of co-host, Faridah Abdul-Tawwab Brown.
She was born to the union of two educators who forged a bond in the crucible of a faith that fueled their commitments to education and to community life. She is a product of this native born Muslim American tradition. Always in awe of nature, she sought beauty and guidance, discovering her place in the unity of creation and within the calm and storm of life with her younger brother and sister and her twin.
As a former middle and high school teacher, and current home educator, she utilizes the structure and interdependence of family life as a model for understanding and reinforcing concepts and relationships. As she first did within the womb of her family, Faridah seeks the will of G-d, the interests of family ties, and the concerns of community life.
Faridah and her husband of 24 years are parents of four daughters.
