Khalid Latif – When I Found Out Marshmallows Weren’t Halal

About this lecture

In this heartfelt talk, Imam Khalid Latif draws on childhood memories of growing up Muslim in Edison, New Jersey — from discovering that Rice Krispie Treats and Lucky Charms weren't halal, to giving up chicken McNuggets at age 12 — to explore the deeper meaning of love, loss, and what we truly cherish. Using humor and personal storytelling, he arrives at a moving reflection on his mother's aging and the irreplaceable nature of the people behind the things we love, reminding us that some separations are not a matter of choice.
