The quote from Baba Ibrahim that Mushim shared:
“[Radically subversive] Religious leaders are willing to challenge paradigms, challenge structures of oppression, to encourage people to dream into reality new worlds…[they] put their bodies where their discourse is and by so doing, they tap into the energy in the communities that’s already moving…So what I mean is those who are really willing to build communities of resilience, of sustainability, that are counter oppressive and who engage in the work of connecting the dots constantly.”
