Mother Khadijah

Video clip of Umi describing who Mother Khadijah was and their relationship.

Notes: I think my favorite part of this interview is how she describes Mother Khadijah: "Mother Khadijah was an Aries like me, she wasn't playin'! Mother wanted to make sure sisters had dignity where they prayed and she was very outspoken.." Mother Khadijah sounds just like Umi and all the Muslim women who raised me and it's no wonder they did all they did.
