A message from the Executive Director of Maryam Tree Center:

​

As an African American Muslim woman of African and European descent, I carry the legacy of resilience and progress as a descendant of enslaved ancestors from South Carolina who migrated to Washington, D.C., before the Civil Rights Act of 1965. These struggles have not only shaped my identity but have also propelled me towards personal, financial, social, and educational growth. My journey has been profoundly influenced by learning about the true essence of Islam in the Middle East, which has transformed my life and reinforced my commitment to serving my community.

​

The opportunities for individual and community advancement in America are immense, but they require us to work smarter, not harder. Maryam Tree Center is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, and serves as a beacon of support and empowerment. We are committed to helping individuals achieve not only physical health but also holistic wellness and psychological stability—fostering peace of mind, body, soul, and spirit. Our mission is to be a source of strength and a resource for those striving to fulfill the American dream.​
