Muslim American Heritage

Good news!  So far this year, MALA has received generous institutional funding for new story production campaigns during the summer and fall of 2021.  As we continue tyo be recognized as an authority in. the storytelling and cultural exchange space, MALA is proud and honored to receive the opportunity to undertake new projects and expand our platform to spotlight an even broader spectrum of individuals and communities.  

This summer we are excited to be working on two new collections: one collection which will focus on the stories of Black Muslims in the Chicagoland area, and another that will focus on stories from Muslims of AAPI heritage.  We are honored and thrilled to be able to share the stories of these communities, and our work is cut out for us.  When you contribute to thwe Muslim American Journeys project this summer, you are helping us to not only produce these stories, but to activate them through community engagement, open dialogue, and cultural exchange.  Your support helps to actively build communities, break stereotypes, and foster important cultural connections accross the country.
