I’m passionate about empowering voices and fostering collaboration through digital means. I’m building an interactive directory website that highlights development projects within our East African minority communities across the world. This platform allows users to discover, engage with, and contribute to initiatives through dynamic forms that channel community feedback directly into decision-making. My goal is to create a space where transparency, participation, and impact go hand in hand,nbridging generations and geographies through shared purpose.

FramedByFaith (TBD)

Framed by Faith is a global website directory showcasing different mosques' development projects across communities worldwide. From mosques to senior residences, users can explore initiatives in Canada, East Africa, Europe, and the UK. The platform invites meaningful participation through interactive decision-making tools, allowing users to shape future spaces and honour those who build them. By blending storytelling with engagement, Framed by Faith transforms viewers into contributors.
