Nadia Naqvi is a mother of three, a high-school science teacher, a practicing Muslim and a second-generation Canadian living in Montreal.  Because she wears the hijab, she can't receive a promotion or change jobs. In 2019, the province of Quebec, where she lives, enacted Bill 21, which bans public servants from wearing religious symbols at work. 

In 2018, Nadia was diagnosed with a rare immune disorder and used a wheelchair for two years. As she regains her ability to walk, she is fighting the law that limits her future while teaching and caring for her young family.
