Muslim Civic Coalition Congratulates SACRED on the Successful International Dalit Literature Festival

Chicago, IL — Over the past weekend, the Muslim Business Student Association successfully hosted its inaugural Muslim Business Conference in Chicago.

The conference was designed to build on years of student-led consulting, startup, and investing initiatives by convening forward-thinking Muslim talent with experienced operators and investors — transforming relationships into capital alignment and sustained ecosystem growth.

The event brought together students, professionals, founders, investors, and Muslim allies committed to community-driven economic growth. Attendees enjoyed speaker sessions, fireside chats, robust networking, and student competitions, including a case competition and startup demo day. The day concluded with the reveal of MBSA’s long-term community vision.

The Muslim Civic Coalition proudly served as a sponsor, supporting this powerful, youth-led event. Coalition organizers connected with students and young professionals from across the country, highlighting the importance of civic participation and introducing them to the Young Adults Civic Impact Fellowship as a pathway for developing leadership and civic skills.

Rasheedah Na’Allah, a graduate of last year’s fellowship cohort, actively supported the Coalition’s table and shared her personal experience, encouraging students to apply for the upcoming cycle.

Fellowship applications are now open. To register and learn more here.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, with strong interest in leadership development and civic engagement. The Coalition also connected with key partners including the IL Muslim Chamber of Commerce, Amal House, Amana Funds, CIOGC, and YM.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the young organizers for delivering such an impactful and well-executed event.
