New citizens naturalized and celebrated at Lynden Sculpture Garden
During 2025, umbrella themes centered on identity and citizenship, belonging and agency. Wisconsin Muslim Journal (WMJ) sourced expertise and insight to document stories nodding to the indiscernible threads connecting us all – the need for community, democracy and freedom.
We reported on the remarkable rise and social impact of new coffee cafes in and around greater Milwaukee. We saw Sheroes leading and succeeding with feminine strength, creatives painting power into into society, and an idea generator who asked us, “What’s New?”
WMJ produced a hundred feature stories this year on newsworthy achievements and fascinating people, with its pulse on topics that matter to Wisconsin Muslims. Over 200K readers visited the site online and 10K social media followers checked in for the latest scoop. The seven year old archive is now an indispensable source of Wisconsin Muslim history.
Our professional writers, editors and photographers maintained their dedication to detail, accuracy and truth. Every interviewee, who shared their experience and trusted us, made this an unforgettable year.
Here are some of the special stories we covered in 2025:
Power. Purpose. Presence.
Women of Influence
