Salaam! My name is Usjid Hameed and I live in Columbus, Ohio. I currently work for CAIR-Columbus, a civil rights and advocacy organization for American-Muslims, as their government affairs and development coordinator. I hope to start law school in the fall, inshallah. 

I identify as a somewhat practicing Muslim (some may say non-practicing) but am fairly god conscious. I love exercising, listening to rap music, spending time with friends, and following the news (I'm a huge politics nerd). Social justice and equity play a major role in my life. I care deeply about social change and hope that my career after law school will be focused on helping society's most marginalized. To relax when I am alone, I like watching something funny on netflix/ hulu or listening to a podcast. 

I hope to find someone that, like me, wishes to carry on their Islamic identity and values. My ideal partner will be someone that is:
- Either less or about as religious as me; 
- Shares my political views about social progress;
- Open to relocating; and
- Is also into fitness
