Faces of Change | Alim Muhammed of 3-D Sports Academy

Our latest video is a thoughtful theory of how change comes from within the family structure. Watch as Alim Muhammed lists the steps it takes to make some real shifts as he uses sports to reach the youth in the Los Angeles area.


Alim Muhammed was born in Los Angeles, CA and currently a single father of his daughter Sumayyah and son Ayinde. In 1994, Alim founded Smiley’s Bookstore in Carson, CA. Immediately after launching the store, he self-published the “Science of 7” in 1995. Alim is a motivational speaker, health consultant and metaphysician with 30 years of experience working with inner-city youth in LA. Most recently, he formed the nonprofit, 3-D Sports Academy, which uses sports as a tool to reach the family structure by placing an athlete in a unique sports environment that provides skills beyond the athletic world. Along with his work at 3-D Sports Academy, Alim also published “The Spiritual and Mental Dimensions of Basketball” that same year.
