Bring Eid to Work....the inspiration.

"Last year for Eid I chose to celebrate by bringing sweets to my office for all my colleagues. This year I would like to ask our community to join me! To shift the narrative, we must all be ambassadors for Islam. This is a great opportunity to open ourselves up for questions about Islam and hopefully find a common ground by discussing how Islam is similar to other religions."
