<p>"Three months ago, I married the love of my life, Rama, at the City Clerk's office," he wrote. "Rama isn't just my wife, she's an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms."</p>

<p>Duwaji works as an illustrator and animator, per her Instagram bio.</p>
<p>In an April 2025 conversation with Yung Mea, Duwaji opened up about her work goals, saying, "These days, I focus on making art about my experiences and the things I care about, and the community that forms from conversations about my work — both online and in person — happens organically. I make my work for people who care about the things I care about."</p>
<p>She continued, "If it happens to engage someone or loop them into a conversation about politics or community they might not have thought of being a part of, it is an added bonus instead of the actual goal of making art."</p>
<p>In May 2025, she shared on Instagram that one of her illustrations was featured in an article in The New Yorker. Per her artist bio, her list of clients also includes The Washington Post, BBC, Apple, Spotify, VICE and the Tate Modern.</p>
<p>Outside of the digital art space, she also spends time creating hand-built ceramics, per her artist bio.</p>

<p>As Mamdani shared on Instagram and in an April 2025 conversation with Interview Magazine, he tied the knot with Duwaji in a civil ceremony at the City Clerk's office in early 2025.</p>
<p>Mamdani opened up about why he "loved that building," saying, "The outside is just so beautiful and reminiscent of a different New York City, and the inside is in many ways public goods personified."</p>
<p>He continued, "All of these New Yorkers getting married at the same time at different ages and at different times in their lives, it's very beautiful."</p>
<p>Mamdani's campaign team confirmed to the New York Post that the pair also hosted a larger celebration in December 2024.</p>
<p>"Before their civil ceremony in New York City, Zohran and his wife celebrated their engagement in Dubai last year — where her family lives — with a small, joyful ceremony surrounded by their loved ones," the Mamdani campaign said in a statement to the outlet.</p>
