How One Man’s Conversion to Islam Shaped Canada’s Policies - Stephen Brown

On this episode of the Safi Bros Podcast, we are back with another episode from the Prophetic Summit in Turkiye. We are excited to share the Success Story of Stephen Brown, CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims. Stephen is a leader and community organizer with decades of experience in the private sector, in organized labour, and in human rights advocacy. We were blown away to hear the history of Stephen’s family and how they have instilled within him an unshakable resolve to stand up for the Muslim community.

A huge thanks to Stephen Brown for joining us on The Safi Bros Podcast and sharing his personal experiences for our audience. For more information on Stephen’s work, please check out the National Council of Canadian Muslims website: nccm.ca
