We couldn’t be happier for Yassin, and by the looks of the conversation on social media we aren’t the only ones. More than 90-percent of the nearly 600 mentions of Yassin’s before 11 a.m. this morning have been positive.
I can’t show enough ❤️ and pride for this. People like Yassin, and the people around Knoxville who all nominated him show exactly why I so greatly love Tennessee and the good people who make it special. #MadeInTN #WelcomeInTN https://t.co/sIRvEwsqj5
