What does it really take to build a sustainable Muslim nonprofit?
In this powerful episode of The Muslim Nonprofit Show, we sit down with Imam Khalid Griggs, a lifelong activist, faith leader, and advocate for justice.
Imam Khalid shares his journey from growing up in the American South during the Civil Rights movement — where he met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — to embracing Islam in college and dedicating his life to organized activism.
We discuss:
✅ The lessons he learned from his father, a union organizer in the Deep South
✅ Why Muslims must embrace courage and conviction in the fight for justice
✅ The risks and realities of activism in America
✅ How Islam calls us to collective action and organized resistance
✅ Why joining forces with others is essential for lasting impact
This is not just a story about history — it's a call to action for every believer who wants to live their faith through service, courage, and justice.
