Hi, Ms. Williams, What a joy it was for me to discover you. I am a little late to the party but so happy to be here. After having read all of the ones listed in Amazon, I wonder if Black American women being Muslim are subject to the biases you write about? Why do you think this is? "Open to Love" - more more more. Thank you, Ann

Lyndell Williams Hi, Ann. This is such a great question! I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner. The answer is yes. Black Muslim women often encounter the same biases as Bla…moreHi, Ann. This is such a great question! I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner. The answer is yes. Black Muslim women often encounter the same biases as Black women who are not Muslim. Black Muslim women often face anti-Blackness and bias within Muslim culture in addition to those in the broader society. Being Black women is foundational to our identities, and many of us embrace our Black womanhood. Consequently, we encounter and must resist bias and bigotry because of it.

I write Black (African American) Muslim female characters with a self-awareness of social dynamics at the intersections of their race, gender and faith. Although not all of them experience outright bias, they're prepared to deal with it. (less)
