“Thank you for your hard work. ISPU has always been and continue to be the beacon of knowledge and understanding through facts. Thank you again for making our Muslim community shine.”
JUMAN DOLEH-ALOMARY, Information Technology Audit Director at Wayne State
University and executive board member of Arab American Women’s Business Council
“ISPU’s work is very profound. There’s so much truth in what they do—even making our community put a mirror up and saying this is what’s going on. I think that’s critically important.”
CONGRESSWOMAN RASHIDA TLAIB (MI-13)
“You planted a seed about the need for better representation of Black Muslims—women in particular—in the media. The choice I made to feature a young, Black woman came out of [ISPU’s training for journalists]. The seminar helped me see my gaps and blind spots.”
LIZ KINEKE, Broadcast journalist

I want their teachers and classmates to support and understand them. I want them to know that they can be anything they want to be,” Saba says.
“I know that the dreams I have for my own children are reflective of the dreams that every mother has. And yet, I have seen the impact of Islamophobia, religious-based bullying, and ignorance in general on my family, community, and patients.” Read more→
