Eat With Muslims

The Eat with Muslims (EWM) project is a grass-roots movement started by South King County residents, Fathia Absie and Ilays Aden. We work to aggressively counter misconceptions about Muslims through food, art, and film. We live in an age where neighbors don’t get to know one another anymore, making it easy for preconceived notions to thrive. Therefore, we decided to bring diverse people around Puget Sound together to share positive and thought provoking conversations.

We are committed to building bridges between people of different cultures and faiths, bringing them together over delicious food and fostering dialogue. This project is designed to give the American Muslim community the chance to reach out and take charge of their narrative. We believe that eating together and sharing our stories is what will strengthen and enrich our country and our values.
