Pillars Pop-Up Conversations
At Pillars, we believe that shaping culture is an important way to reclaim our histories and reimagine our futures as Muslims.
We seek to change the lens through which our stories are told to one that is authentic, complex, accurate and honest.
As part of our commitment to Muslim storytelling, we are proud to host Pillars Pop-Up Conversations on Facebook Live. During these conversations, we explore how American Muslims are using storytelling and cultural production to advance social change.
See below for a list of upcoming events, as well as links to past conversations.
