Guest Alia Salem is the Founder and Executive Director of FACE (Facing Abuse in Community Environments), an organization dedicating to helping hold abusive religious and community leaders accountable to the communities they serve. Her professional background is in organizational development, community organizing, and communications with a particular focus on the intersections of institutionalized racism and the push towards an equitable pluralistic society.

Alia and her team help communities deal with leadership abuse and create systems that help people know what is going on and what they should do about it. Like the Catholic church masjids fire an imam or other leaders and they pop back up in another community and continue in their abusive behavior, Face is working to stop this. FACE focuses on Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Spiritual Abuse, and Finacial Abuse.

Alia will be presenting on spiritual abuse at the MAS conference in Chicago at the end of December.
