Summary

Season 3 of See Something Say Something debuts next week, but before that, a little taste of what we've been doing during our summer break — we recently brought all your favorite things to the stage in Dearborn, Michigan: comics, advice to Hollywood execs, and the true beauty of Dearborn restaurants (Hint: always order the platter). Co-presented with the Arab American National Museum, the show features poet, Hugo-nominated author of Throne of the Crescent Moon and writer for Marvel's Black Bolt series Saladin Ahmed, Asha Noor from CAIR-MI, Evelyn Alsultany an associate professor at U-Mich; and Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative (MuslimARC) Namira Islam. Plus: Live music by BigOMuziq
