In the U.S., Muslims are projected to double from 0.9% of the population in 2010 to 2.1% by 2050 based on recent demographic and migration patterns. Meanwhile, worldwide, as of 2010, there were an estimated 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, making Islam the world’s second-largest religious tradition after Christianity. By 2050, the number of Muslims worldwide will grow to 2.76 billion, or 29.7% of world’s population. Hence, making sense of Islam may be less than pressing in the United States, but is increasingly important worldwide.

Wesley Diekens came to the United States from the U.K. in 2005 on a soccer scholarship. Wesley grew up playing soccer on many competitive teams through high school and had a brief professional career in England. When St. Albans College recruited him to play soccer, he thought it would open his life to a grand adventure. That adventure changed his life.

Sseko Designs Engages in Social Entrepreneurship Liz Forkin Bohannon, Founder and CEO of Sseko Designs, a socially-minded fashion and design company from Portland, Oregon, uses the company as a platform to empower women in Uganda and East Africa. In 2008, after traveling to Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, she was appalled to see the extreme poverty of the people, especially that of its women. She discovered that the top two percent of high school girls who were eligible to go to a university were required to return to their villages and work for nine months while saving their money for tuition. Most of these girls did not continue their education because the families needed the money for their subsistence. She also learned these women preferred to work rather than receive a handout. Her first attempt at a socially conscious for-profit business was a short-lived chicken farm venture. It was then that she recalled an incident from her college days when she made a sandal that…

Distributors of Jamaican products in the US, Canada and the UK say demand for Jamaican-made items is high, but exporters must meet the standards required for entry into the different markets. Overseas distributors are, therefore, urging local manufacturers to provide products with long shelf life and world-class packaging to maintain and increase market share. According to the Business Development Director of Dees Imports Ltd., Heather Chevannes, beverages, syrups, seasonings, ackee, and callaloo are among the Jamaican products that do well in the UK. She noted, however, that a product’s shelf life is always a concern when exporting food to the UK. “ All the products that we take from Jamaica must travel well,” she said. Chevannes was a panelist on the virtual Jampro Exporters Forum, “ Do Business Jamaica Webinar: Delivering World – class Export Products”, held on April 13, 2022. Dees Imports Ltd. Is said to be the largest exporter of Caribbean foods in the UK. Question Maslow's needs…
