"The Green Islam Movement: Connecting Faith with Action” Ahlam Osman, Environmental Activist & Event Planner at Faithfully Sustainable

How can we use a religious framework to inspire individual action around climate justice and care for the planet? Community Activist Ahlam Osman joins us this morning to share about her work in the Green Islam Movement. Through her work with Faithfully Sustainable and the Somali Empowerment Circle, Ahlam Osman is rooting conversations about sustainability and other “green” issues in the heart of her faith community.

Ahlam Osman, Event Planner at Faithfully Sustainable, is dedicated to actively exploring the intersectionalities of climate justice, sustainability, and Islamic principles as a framework to bridge gaps in the environmentalism space. Her goal at F.S is to create platforms to address environmental justice and disparities within Muslim and Black immigrant communities. Ahlam is currently a student at Portland State studying community development, with a deep interest and passion for environmental sustainability & urban planning + design. Multi-faceted, she is committed to using her skill sets in problem-solving, community engagement, and creative thinking to bring equity to every facet of her work. Beyond her environmental efforts, Ahlam is one of three Co-founders of Above GRND Coffee (@abovegrndpdx) an upcoming coffee shop in her hometown, Portland, OR. This venture, driven by Ahlam's passion for the specialty coffee industry, will be one of the few Somali-owned coffee shops in the US. As an urbanist and multidisciplinary professional, this passion project shows her commitment to what she calls, community-economic development through place-making in Portland’s business landscape.
