Events must be relevant and beneficial to the African American Muslim community and open to the public or a meaningful segment of the community. MANA does not promote private celebrations, personal gatherings, individual sales, or events whose primary purpose is promoting a person, business, product, or service.

All submissions are subject to review. Promotion is not guaranteed and will depend upon the event’s community relevance, the completeness and timeliness of the information provided, and available space in MANA’s communications channels.

What are you planning? What is your community building? Tell us what’s going on and let MANA help spread the word.

Please share this invitation with masjids, organizations, community leaders, and others doing meaningful work throughout our communities.
