Cavalier Johnson, Mayor of Milwaukee
From pain can come purpose, and Tahira Malik is living proof. After overcoming addiction and incarceration, Tahira transformed her lived experience into a mission rooted in healing and second chances. She is the founder of Samad’s House, now one of the Midwest’s leading sober homes for women, providing hope, dignity, and stability to those rebuilding their lives. Through Samad’s House, lives have been restored, and families have been strengthened, and Milwaukee is better because of her heart for service.
