Noor Tagouri grew up with the goal of being the first woman in a hijab to anchor the news. But as she tells AR, when she did get a job as a news anchor, it wasn't what she had dreamed of. So instead, she focused on reporting big stories about American society and eventually started her own media company.

Tagouri's most recent podcast, "Rep," is an investigation into representation of Muslims in media and how that affects American culture. She talks about how the show transformed into something much bigger than that, what it was like to revisit a foundational story about her own family, and why this process changed her mind about what representation means.

The Museum wishes to thank The Hilary and Galen Weston Foundation for their generous support of This Being Human.
