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, and spending time with friends. Social justice and equity also play a major role in my life. I'm pretty left politically and care deeply about social change. My current work focuses on civil rights and I am considering having a career after law school that also focuses on helping society's most marginalized. To relax when I am alone, I like watching something funny on netflix/ hulu, listening to a podcast, or gaming. 

My friends would describe me as ambitious, energetic, witty, optimistic, and sarcastic.  

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 religious than me or about as religious as me; 
- Aligned with my political views on social progress;
- Open to relocating; and
- Also into fitness
