In this episode of License to Operate, hosts Kanoya Ali and Peter Cunningham sit down with Sadiq Ali, co-founder of Muslimatic University and owner of Baahir Imports. After converting to Islam in 2005 following his own journey through gang life, Sadiq has become a transformative force in Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods, including O-Block. With over 700 new Muslim converts in the past 18 months, his grassroots movement is creating unprecedented change among at-risk youth.

Sadiq's authentic, non-missionary approach demonstrates how faith-based intervention can serve as a powerful tool in community violence prevention.
