UNC MSA presents Tea with Tagouri! Our special guest, Noor Tagouri, will be joining us the afternoon of April 1st as she shares a universally powerful message of acceptance and embracing individuality in a multi-cultural society.

Biography:

Noor is a first-generation Libyan American and on-air journalist for Newsy with a social media following rapidly approaching one million. Since launching the viral #letnoorshine campaign in 2012, she has gained international attention, including a history-making appearance in the October 2016 “Renegades” issue of Playboy, in which she was the first woman ever within its pages to wear a hijab.

Noor has achieved game-changing breakthroughs on her journey to become the first hijabi journalist on commercial U.S. television, along the way establishing a strong platform to empower others to break normative stereotypes and realize their own potential in a multi-cultural society.

Her passion for storytelling stems from a desire to expose cultural injustices and combat challenges women face globally. As she continues to break barriers with gusto, Noor inspires audiences to pursue their passions, stay true to their identity, embrace their differences, and let their light shine.
