The tragedy of 9/11 impacted many, leading to questions about Muslims. Humza Yousaf, a Scottish politician, used this as motivation to educate himself on current affairs, eventually becoming the First Minister of Scotland.
Yousaf faced challenges as First Minister, dealing with international crises like the Gaza assault while supporting his Scottish-Palestinian wife’s family. Despite hardships, he remained steadfast in his values, advocating for justice and peace.
Yousaf acknowledges the rise of far-right extremism, emphasizing the need to combat xenophobia. While he misses his role as First Minister, he is not seeking to return, focusing on human diplomacy and conflict resolution moving forward.
His goal is to mentor the next generation of leaders, promoting inclusive values and celebrating diversity. Yousaf believes in the power of dialogue and understanding to create a more peaceful world, where individuals can embrace their multiple identities with pride.
