i have some news i wanted to share before this jummah ends: black iftar will not be hosting any programming this year, digitally or in person.
it has been a great joy to be able to have served in this capacity.
my goodbye letter is up at https://t.co/u9Ia6yO85n
a challenge i’m coming across is the sudden rush of conversations about healing from institutions/individuals that push black muslims out.
keep sharing events w us to boost and we will do our homework - we not leavin anyone behind.
if your masjid or teachers or orgs are hosting spiritual healing events for black muslims, please share via DM or tag BI or post below so we can boost 🖤
to all my black muslims fighting the return/dependency on their vices, i feel you, im sorry. if you refrained during ramadan, keep going.
it’s scary rn, but Allah really did provide us w everything we need. do what you gotta do but dont forget about His book, prayer, His mercy.
RISE in Minneapolis is hosting this dua call. https://t.co/5fJ6DeoxHi
“This event is open to everyone but will center the voices of Black Muslim women.”
if anyone is absolutely about that action, its us. we know you will jump back in on a thousand when its time. may Allah preserve you, strengthen you, guide you.
black muslim women - know that you dont have to work yourselves into the ground right now.
preserving your mental, spiritual, and physical health is of the utmost importance.
give yourself time to mourn, to pray.
