Grace Song

Grace Song is the Executive Director of the Usuli Institute, and regularly shares her personal stories, reflections and ideas in the introduction to each halaqa. She brings a unique voice to the Usuli Institute as a woman, an American-born-and-raised daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, a Muslim convert since 1994, before she knew Dr. Abou El Fadl, and ultimately as the wife and partner to such a learned Muslim scholar. Her introductions seek to illuminate the importance of knowledge and the impact of the Usuli approach to everyday life as a Muslim in America - engaged in modern day challenges with a commitment to moral and ethical beauty and reasonableness in all affairs, while seeking the divine path.
