Mommying While Muslim

From Barbados to Becoming: Building a Legacy for Change


Listen Later

We are celebrating Shellie McKinney of @momnetworkusa today, a first generation Muslim American and dedicated community organizer, who channels the resilience and spirit of her immigrant mother from Barbados. Growing up, Shellie learned from her mother's lead and "make lemonade" squeeze, founding an organization that is making the lives of our Muslim moms and children better.

But what ARE the experiences of a first generation immigrant who code switches Bajan so adeptly, you wouldn't guess she's Brooklyn-born? And how do these experiences affect her mothering today? Hear how Shellie's late mother's love and strength lifted new immigrants, and inspired future generations to fully embrace their culture. Today, Shellie works tirelessly to build stronger, more inclusive communities, honoring her mother's legacy with every step she takes.🌟
