About me

I Turn My Experience
into a Story.

Struggling to have an African name, Sunni Ali, I faced a hard time understanding the significance of my own culture and history. But reading about Sunni Ali, a brilliant Muslim military genius, I discovered the incredible importance of the West African Empires. The Holy Quran and the Islamic faith have played a vital role in improving black people’s overall livelihood and existence. My interest in African Muslims history and its impact on black lives inspired me to teach and open countless young minds. With such interesting experiences, I turned them into a book, so everyone could read and take something with them.

My Vision

My aim is to help everyone discover the realities of Islam and the powerful impact of the Holy Quran that has in the past and is continuing to bring vital improvements in the lives of black Americans.

My Mission

My focus revolves around educating the world about the relevance Islam holds and its historical transcendence and advancement in West Africa.

My Goal

I have embarked on a journey to deliver authentic knowledge and information about how the Holy Quran has brought forth a positive difference in the lives of black people.
