Thank you for tapping in! Here's a little more  about me...

I'm the author of '44 Ways to Manhood', and the memoir, 'American Imam'. I'm a dedicated educator with 20 years of experience in leadership development. I have helped hundreds of working professionals, university students and adolescents become outstanding leaders in their personal lives, and public identities. 

​

After being a successful entrepreneur for over a decade, and teaching and counseling at numerous institutions including Harvard University, Tufts, and several high-security prisons, I have designed a critical program that utilizes interactive strategies that transform potential leaders into certified powerhouses.  

By far, the most important aspect of becoming a leader is knowing your strengths and understanding the areas where you need to grow both personally and professionally. I will walk you through a series of steps that help you master the Nine Keys of leadership. We will then begin to develop a customized growth plan I call Spentem (hence the name of my leadership lab!).  

​

In my two decades of leadership work I have coached, counseled and/or taught religious leaders, gang leaders, managers, company executives, returning citizens, educators, and couples. I have facilitated countless workshops on Interracial Democracy, post-Civil War Reconstruction, Race and Membership and Media Literacy.  I have mediated conflict between educators who hold political and social differences, as well as gangsters and killers who were out for blood. I have led successful civic campaigns on behalf of underserved communities including advocacy for criminal justice reform, better housing for the poor, fair sentencing policy change, and others.

​

I hold several certifications in Islamic studies and theology, a Masters in Global Interreligious Leadership and a Doctorate in Transformational Leadership. I love to help people win in life. 

Let me help you become legendary.
