Ella Collins Institute

Ella Little-Collins was more than Malcolm X's sister—she was a pioneering Muslim educator, community organizer, and spiritual leader in her own right. Her dedication to Islamic education and social justice laid the foundation for generations of Muslim leaders.

As a devoted educator, Ella believed in the transformative power of knowledge rooted in Islamic tradition while addressing contemporary challenges. Her legacy continues through her son, Yusuf Collins, who serves on our board, ensuring her vision remains central to our mission.
