“I do this to help my family” – Waleed

"This is for my family. I do this to help my family, you know, to give my dad a chance to rest. My dad is my inspiration." - Waleed at Aladdin's Bakery

Muslims of Ottawa is a photographic representation of the diversity and humanity of our community. The project is two-fold: (1) We want to share and document the broad array of cultures, lifestyles, professions and other defining features of Muslims in Ottawa and (2) we want to hear from members of the community in their own words. This project is a partnership between Muslim Link and abcreatives. It takes its inspiration primarily from Humans of New York, but is also influenced by loveOttawa and Somali Sideways.
