The founder of HAQ and the creator of the Queer Muslim Masterpost, Elias is a biracial genderqueer Muslim.

Vivien (she/her)

Vivien is a transgender Muslim woman. Being a mixed person of color and holding multiple ethnic identities, issues of hybridity and marginality are at the core of her work and effort.

Zakiyah (they/them)

Zakiyah (Z) is a nonbinary Black Muslim from Maryland. Drawing from their Nigerian-American, queer, trans, and spiritual identities, their work centers around community building and healing.
