This post is not necessarily for my audience, but more so for me, a permission slip to go on the field trip of a lifetime. And you never know who is watching you, or who may be inspired just by catching a whiff of what you’re doing. The project that I thought I somehow “failed” at, because I didn’t produce something publishable by the end of a calendar year, was not that at all. From there, he reached out to me on Facebook and we scheduled a phone call. I toggled with the idea of sharing my work in a more social kind of setting, and uploaded one (yes one) video to YouTube without looking back.īack in March, Juan Galvan ( yes, Juan Galvan- author of Latino Muslims: Our Journeys to Islam) searched for #LatinoMuslims on YouTube. I would present at academic symposiums, publish a paper – do all the “formal” means of presenting things. I was awarded the Rocks Fellowship to travel across the country, collecting narratives regarding reversion in the Latino Muslim community.Īt the beginning, I had a laser-focused vision for how I wanted things to go. The Perlas del Islam project started as my senior thesis in Spanish. Long time no blog (InshaAllah that won’t be my opening sentence for much longer)!
