Meet Bushra

Born in Chicago to Pakistani immigrant parents and raised in Skokie, Bushra Amiwala is a trailblazing public servant, bridge-builder, and bold voice for underrepresented communities. Her journey into public service began with a simple but powerful belief: government should reflect the people it serves — in values, in vision, and in voice.
