"People are praising Rama Duwaji, wife of Mayor-elect of New York City Zohran Mamdani, for 'decentring men'. The 28-year-old Syrian-American is the city's youngest first lady. But her disinterest in that role is gaining the most attention and praise. An animator and illustrator, she is firmly holding on to her identity outside of her husband's political career.

"The 28-year-old Syrian-American is the city's youngest first lady. But her disinterest in that role is gaining the most attention and praise. An animator and illustrator, she is firmly holding on to her identity outside of her husband's political career. Many have noted that Duwaji's Instagram account is awash with selfies, photographs with friends and artwork, giving little indication she's married to a mayor or, indeed, married at all."
Emily Ratajkowski and Zohran Mamdani's wife Rama Duwaji are two high-profile women championing a movement gaining traction. People are praising Rama Duwaji for 'decentring men' by refusing to adopt a conventional first-lady persona. The 28-year-old Syrian-American is the city's youngest first lady, yet her disinterest in traditional ceremonial duties is attracting attention and praise. An animator and illustrator by trade, she retains an independent creative identity separate from her husband's political career. Her Instagram features selfies, friends and artwork, offering little indication that she is married to a mayor or even married at all.
