Description

“I’d spend my entire sujood du’a time praying for Gaza, only to wake up and go to work in a company that was contributing to that suffering.” In this one-on-one interview, Dr. Omar Suleiman sits down with Ibtihal Aboussad to talk about her decision to call out Microsoft during its 50th anniversary celebration for its complicity in the genocide in Gaza through its AI program. She breaks down what led up to that moment, how she prepared spiritually, and what it meant to take that public stand.
