Black-Led Muslim Books
All of this week, I have been listening and learning and I will continue to listen.
Raising anti-racist kids starts at home.
What does your child's bookshelf look like?
I, along with other fellow Muslim bloggers and authors, have compiled our own lists of Muslim Kid Lit representing Black Muslim families.
Two things I came to realize:
1 - We need more Black stories in Muslim Kid Lit.
2 - I need to do better and add more of them in my bookshelf, inshaAllah.
