Introduction
The Meaning Behind Our Logo: A Story of Unity & Purpose
The Symbolism of the Logo
- Two figures stand apart: a young Black man and a young Black woman facing opposite directions.
- They are not divided; they are bound at the jugular, the very source of life.
- They move in different directions, but their bond is unbreakable.
- When one steps forward, the other follows.
- When one stumbles, the other lifts.
- When one dreams, the other protects.
A Divine Calling: The Hand of Allah (The Creator) in Our Mission
In 2017, Asad Shabazz faced a life-changing moment. After enduring years of pain, surgeries, and suffering, he entered an operating room—unaware that he would leave his body behind. His heart stopped, and for a brief moment, he stood at the threshold of eternity.
By the will of Allah(The Creator), he was brought back to life. But survival without purpose is not truly living. As he lay in his hospital bed, searching for meaning, he lifted his voice in prayer:
“O Allah(The Creator), You have given me back my life. But what is a life if not lived in Your service? Show me, what would You have me do?”
- Water—the essence of life—had imprinted the very symbol of unity, resilience, and purpose.
- It was a message. A reminder. A calling.
The Meaning of Our Logo: A Sign of Purpose
The original logo represents young people standing together in leadership, purpose, and unity.
The water-formed logo was a divine confirmation that this mission must continue.
Together, they tell the story of resilience, faith, and the unshakable belief that we are all connected, bound by a purpose greater than ourselves.
