What if the entire approach to building Muslim economic power has been flawed from the start? 💸
For 15 years, Sabiha Ansari, co-founder of the American Muslim Consumer Consortium (AMCC), has been in the trenches. She’s seen the boom in Muslim-owned businesses, the rise of modest fashion, and the halal food revolution. But she’s also identified a critical, systemic failure that is holding our community back.
In this episode, she reveals why building more mosques and donating to charity—while noble—isn't enough to create a lasting economic ecosystem that can benefit generations. This is a conversation that challenges the status quo and reveals the uncomfortable truth about collaboration, capital, and legacy.

How billions in community capital are being misdirected.
