“The shortest distance between two people is a good story,” she said. Waraich hopes that the Inspired Generosity exhibit, and the process of building host committees in the cities where it will be displayed, will build relationships between funders and organizers in those communities while using the power of stories to push back against the negative images of Islam and Muslims that are so dominant in the U.S.”
