Tariq El-Amin of Radio Islam and Layla Abdullah-Poulos spent 2018 engaged in vibrant discussions about books by Muslim authors in an expanding canon of literature as well as in-depth talks about prevailing social issues.

Tariq invited Layla to talk about the hashtag #BlackMuslimReads highlighting the works of Black Muslim authors across genres during Black History Month. The hashtag went viral, and NbA Muslims hosted a Twitter Chat with authors.

The Radio Islam host then invited the NbA Muslims managing editor to return for a regular monthly spot.

Having the opportunity to review literary works, by Muslim authors, with Layla Abdullah Poulos this year, has been an introduction to new talented writers, and the basis for rich, thoughtful discussions. I’m looking forward to 2019. – Tariq El-Amin
