I decided to share some of my latest adventures documented on Instagram here on the blog ;)
I went to an event organized by MPAC a couple nights ago, and it was spectacular. The event discussed the influence and culture of African American Muslims and how they contribute to the overall Muslim identity here in the United States. There were many exceptional speakers and role-models there, from a Senator, a hip-hop duo, and an educator. After listening to them I realized that Islam in America is too often Arabized or Desi-ized and we forget that Islam is for everyone. The African American community has contributed many viable things to the muslim identity in America. I realize that I have a lot to learn.
The second set of pictures are from my friend's birthday hangout where we had too much fun ;)
