Rising Convert Experience
Salam! Hola, and welcome! I’m Kelly, the host of the Rising Convert Experience Podcast. I’m a Latina Muslim convert, Guatemalan by heritage, born and raised in Canada. I grew up in beautiful British Columbia but now call Alberta home. I have two siblings—fun fact: one of them is my twin!
But enough about me—This podcast is where we dive deep into the journey of being a Muslim convert, embracing faith, navigating life with a fresh perspective, and explore the diverse journeys of Muslims—whether you're newly embracing Islam, years into your journey, or just curious about what it's like to be a convert, this space is for you.
