The Courage to Speak the Truth
After connecting online for an amazing discussion last year, Dr. Syed & Sh. Youssef Soussi (@TabsiraProject) finally met in person during United Islam Awareness Week 2023 for a powerful discussion.
Although Sh. Youssef knows the cold from living in Minnesota, he experienced it on another level in Western Canada. Things really get heated during this spicy conversation on the biggest challenges the youth are facing today.
At a time where it’s easier to turn a blind eye and remain silent, Sh. Youssef and Dr. Syed emphasize the need for courage and standing up for the truth!
