He is 42 years old ๐บ๐ธ
His younger brother is named Osama. On 9/11 his stepmother called to say she was picking the brother up from school. Abdul stayed at school "just in case" anyone needed defending.
After 9/11, at age 16, he was a target on the football field, got into a fight after hearing racist comments, and was told by his coach "You're going to be Abdul El-Sayed for the rest of your life. You can use that as an excuse or as motivation"
His Egyptian grandmother (Teta Soad), who was illiterate and raised kids in a one-bedroom apartment above a fish market, is the person he still asks himself about daily "Would Teta be proud?
He was born on Halloween
Captained his high school football, wrestling, and lacrosse teams.
He has said he has only seen his father cry twice in his life. One of those times was when his father had to tell him that Teta had died.
At age 30, he became the youngest health director of a major U.S city when he was appointed to rebuild Detroitโs health department.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed met his wife Sarah through the Muslim Students' Association at the University of Michigan and proposed while she was still a freshman.

Abdul El-Sayed is the first Muslim Senator in US history.
It's an huge win for the Muslim community, the Democrats and the state of Michigan whom majority voted him in.
He has emerged as a Senator because a part of the people in the state of Michigan believe in his competence in governing affairs, as he has proven himself in past offices.

In the midst of all the uproar going on, let's look forward to how this win will bring about the best interest of the people of Michigan and the united states in general, as this is the most paramount.

Congratulations Abdul El-Sayed

Thank you very much for reading

Muslim names be like SERVANT OF THE MERCIFUL and Christians have shit like Michael
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Michael comes from the Hebrew phrase mฤซ kฤสผฤl, which translates to "Who is like God?".

โI hope everyone is learning Arabicโ
Okay, fine, lemme teach you:
In Arabic we donโt say:
โThank you, dinner was delicious.โ
We say:
โMay the hands that seasoned this feast be preserved in gold, may the ancestors who guarded its recipe smile upon your home, and may your enemies eat unseasoned chicken for a thousand winters.โ

Fun fact: Affleck donated to Abdul when he ran for Governor in 2018.

Hope this is explored in the new MET theme: Denim was considered a poor working class uniform until Black southerners made it cool. SNCCโs organizing work in the South catapulted denim into cool. They wore denim to canvas areas to show the Black rural working class that they could relate to them by donning their uniform (denim) then brought it back to metros.

A man who knows ballโฆ sorry @AbdulElSayed, I wasnโt familiar with your skincare game. ๐
Wondering what keeps Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayedโs skin looking so clear? He breaks down his skincare routine with Suzanne Lambert. ๐งดโจ

if DSA doesnโt simultaneously get on your fucking nerves and give you hope for the future you probably arenโt involved lol
The two largest cities in the US (LA + NYC) being run by democratic socialists makes me feel extremely hopeful about the 2028 presidential election. DSA is on a f*cking roll. ๐ค๐ผ
(Need Nithya to grow a spine and stand by her support for BDS but I'm glad she won over โnot-a-genocideโ Karen Bass!)
Same โreporterโ who wrote about Palestinian children starved by Israel without even trying to contact a single one of them or their families. Said she reported on 12 cases and if you count them, she didnโt even do 12. Sloppiest reporter currently employed anywhere is @Olivia_Reingold
this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As Josรฉ puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!
