The majority of AYWA participants are first-generation or second-generation female immigrants or refugees, with many identifying as Yemeni-American. In their daily lives, AYWA participants navigate bicultural identities, family and community expectations, and religious and cultural norms. Dr. Alsaidi developed a unique curriculum and program to meet the needs of AYWA participants, support their development as young people, and create a safe space for participants to connect with one another. Dr. Alsaidi was adept at navigating challenging conversations and empowering AAFSC’s young women through the programming that she developed and facilitated. Dr. Alsaidi’s work has been instrumental in uplifting and supporting Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) young women through her practice and application of psychology.”
