Islam & Dating Part II: Love Rebel

​Join us for a meaningful community conversation about relationships, love, and dating as a Muslim in the modern world, featuring Alae Kawam, author of Love Rebel: Faith, Modern Love, and the Complications of Being a “Good Girl.”

​In her memoir, Alae shares her deeply personal journey of navigating love and identity as a Muslim-American-Syrian woman living in the United States. Caught in a three-way tug-of-war between Syrian traditions, American ideals, and Islamic principles, she explores what it means to find love while remaining true to yourself.

​Her journey is about more than dating. It is about identity, faith, family, womanhood, ambition, and the struggle to build a life without sacrificing your values—or yourself.

​Come join us for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about the realities of modern Muslim love, the pressures surrounding marriage, and what it means to be a “good girl” in a world that is constantly asking us to choose between who we are and who we are expected to be.

​Come with questions. Come with stories. Come as you are.
