This time, she takes us inside the diverse lives of African-American Muslim women. We get a glimpse of how these women grew up, how and why they chose Al-Islam as their way of life, their personal journeys and finally, why they still choose to be Muslim despite the many negative portrayals of the religion and its women in todays world. Raheem says, My mother once asked me why I would choose a triple whammy. She said, Youre already Black and a woman in America. Now, Muslim? Maybe this book will answer that question. Thanks, Mom.
