Areeb Been Khan is a Bangladeshi-American attorney from Virginia. An early interest in politics and government led him to stints at the U.S. House of Representatives, the Obama State Department in the Office of Reconstruction and Stabilization for the Middle East and North Africa, organizing county operations in Virginia for a General Election, and eventually to law school. An alum of the University of Virginia and Brooklyn Law School, Areeb seeks to combine community lawyering with political tools to expand, defend, and advocate for the rights of South Asian Americans.

Areeb is an avid fan of Chelsea football club, basketball, and Clipse, and his interests outside of work often lead him down Islamic history rabbit holes and discussions regarding human rights. You can find him at a museum, a local protest, or eating at a neighborhood spot in Fort Greene.
