Measurable Outcome(s)

After completing our 2021 Muslim Sheroes of Minnesota series, we hosted a gathering of our featured Muslim whom we asked about the next phase of our storytelling program. The feedback and conversations from this gathering, as well as from our team and Shura Council, we pivoted from pursuing a documentary to developing a book based on the Sheroes project, with the intended goal of preserving our cultural legacy as Minnesotan Muslim women.
