Summary
I’m excited to share the first in a series of conversations that we’ve recorded with Black women of several religious backgrounds. Today, we’ll be exploring the experiences of Black women in the Islamic faith. Joining me to share her experience as a Black woman Muslim is founder of the platform Every Black Muslim Girl, Khadeejah B. During our conversation we discussed what it means to be a Black Muslim woman, address the concerns around women’s agency under the Islamic faith, and explore what Islam teaches about mental health and well-being.
