Zohran Mamdani made history by becoming New York City’s first-ever Muslim mayor. At the same time, his 28-year-old wife, Rama Duwaji, became the city’s first Gen Z First Lady. On election night, Duwaji caught attention wearing a Palestine-inspired dress designed by Zeid Hijazi, symbolizing silent support for Palestinian culture and struggle.
Rama Duwaji is internationally known for her social work, having collaborated with organizations such as The New Yorker, The Washington Post, BBC, and Al Jazeera. Mamdani and Duwaji’s relationship began through modern digital communication — they first met on the dating app Hinge.
