Black Muslim Future
MuslimARC’s #BeingBlackAndMuslim Twitter Townhall aims to amplify the voices from the diversity of Black Muslim identities. This includes African Muslims, Afro Caribbean identities, Afro Latino, Afro-Canadian, and Black American Muslims. In discussions about Muslims and Islam, African Muslims are often left out of the conversation. Islam is the largest religion Africa. Africa consists of fifty four countries, each with culturally, linguistically and religiously diverse communities. We also hope to explore the tensions and connections between African Muslim Diasporic communities in North America, whether model minority narratives, marginalization of refugees, the undocumented, and indigent Black Muslims, as well as challenge colorism and internalized anti-Black and anti-African sentiment. Drawing on the themes of Black Muslim Future and Afro-futurism, we are looking forward to imagine new possibilities for African Muslim Diasporic identities.
Join us for this important discussion tomorrow at 11am PST/ 2pm EST at twitter.com/muslimarc and tweet us using #BeingBlackAndMuslim
