In Episode 96 of the Raising Mums podcast, I interview Rukayat Yakub, a Montessori teacher and award-winning author. Rukayat has travelled the world studying Arabic and traditional Islamic sciences. In addition to pursuing a doctorate in Islamic leadership, Rukayat coaches leaders and mothers on navigating anti-Blackness - the inability to see and value Black humanity in their communities and homes.

In this episode Sister Rukayat shares:

Practical advice on navigating anti-Blackness in our communities 

How the teachings in Islam help us address social issues

Racism in books and boycotting authors

Conversations about antiblackness with our children

How to bring Black Islamic History into your homeschool curriculum

The Prophetic model of compassion, justice, and belonging
