They speak about MIN, what they do, and where they hope to go, touching on how they help build up influencers and bridge the gap of understanding between brands and Muslim influencers. The conversation moves towards the responsibilities Muslims face when they enter that digital space, and how it's important to not let it distract from one's faith. They discuss how easy it is to fall for the trap of constantly seeking validation, and highlight the importance of maintaining pure intentions. Coming to a close, they speak on how unchecked this space is, and why that needs to change.  --  Listen to our last podcast with Ibn Ali Miller here: https://anchor.fm/themuslimvibe/episodes/Ep-79---Islam-In-The-Hood-ft--Ibn-Ali-Miller-eas4e5  The Muslim Vibe has launched a new podcast!
