I became Muslim over 12 years ago and as I've grown as a Muslim I've come to appreciate
just how big our community is. We represent over 100 languages, cultures, countries - we
span the entire globe. But after the tragic events of 9/11 there's essentially only 1
narrative of Muslims shared: and that's we're a backwards people with nothing to contribute.
I started LaunchGood to spin that narrative on its head. Being active in grassroots community
efforts I know how many great amazing things Muslims are doing. We're building inner city
community centers, leading global humanitarian efforts, writing amazing children's books,
even producing award winning films. But it's not enough. It's not a collective effort yet,
and the support is just a fraction of what it needs to be. So now we have LaunchGood.
LaunchGood is a crowdfunding site to support Muslims doing great amazing things all across
the globe, especially creative and entrepreneurial endeavors. It's a community to share great
ideas, and inspire bigger thinking, and it's our showroom to the world of all the good
that we're doing and all the good we're capable of. If you're interested at being at the forefront
of changing the narrative of who Muslims are and what type of global citizens Muslims are,
join us. Check out the projects on our site, support the ones that touch your heart, and
if you have a great idea that needs support launching, reach out to us we'd love to help
you. Together, we can change our countries, our communities, our world - one project at a time!
