MEET HAKEEM
Born and raised in Chattanooga, Yusuf Hakeem grew up in St. Elmo, graduating from Howard High School in 1966. He married his high school sweetheart, Baseemah, and they raised their 4 children in House District 28. The family has since grown to include 4 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
​
Growing up under Jim Crow segregation, Hakeem came of age during the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 60's. His high school was the victim of a bombing, as well as friends living in what today is District 28. His first-hand experience of socioeconomic disparities during this time initially moved Hakeem to pursue public service.
