Who are we?

Who are we?

Who are we?

I'm Lorenzo, a Dutch revert to Islam based in Dubai. Two years ago, I embraced Islam. I'm driven by two missions: sharing the beauty of this faith with people who might never otherwise engage with it, and helping Muslims build successful halal businesses.

My background as a white Dutch revert gives me a unique perspective - I understand the skepticism, the misconceptions, and the barriers that prevent many Westerners from truly learning about Islam. That's exactly why I create content on my main channel: to break down those walls, challenge stereotypes, and present Islam in a way that resonates with non-Muslim audiences.

On my secondary channel, I focus on entrepreneurship and halal business-building, sharing my expertise in 6 years of entrepreneurship, doing over 8-figures in revenue and helping Muslims create wealth in ways that align with their faith.

Both channels share a common goal: to provide authentic, impactful content that changes lives.

If you join this project, you're not just editing videos. You're contributing to dawah and empowering a generation of Muslim entrepreneurs.
