Moez+Manji

When we began to think of speakers for this topic, it quickly became clear that we needed to hear perspectives other than the ones we usually surround ourselves with. Moez Manji is well-known to many in our community as the man who teaches people to teach other people to drive. He is the District Coordinator of the AARP Smart program. Originally from Kenya, he is Muslim, of Indian (East Indian) ethnicity, a graduate of the U of M, who describes his life as one of adapting to challenges. He gives credit to his mother, teachers and faith for the tenacity required, and quotes Shakespeare’s Polonius: “This above all: to thine own self be true.”
