I have received several inquires about my updates. I have been busy relocating and transitioning jobs. I am in the vibrant city of Brooklyn. No friends, I am not married! Though, who knows what the future holds. Like I always say be open to new possibilities and ventures. So I had a recent conversation with some of my sistaqueens that I want to share with you. We were pondering this question: Would more Muslim women be married if it was permissible to... Read more
“It’s because you’re black.” He repositioned himself in the chair, then looked down at his cup of coffee and grabbed the handle. I could tell this conversation made him uncomfortable. He was from the subcontinent but had the swag of a black brotha. He said he was having a hard time find a sister from his background because he couldn’t relate to them. “I’m sorry, it’s just my family wouldn’t be happy…” He said this apologetically while taking a small...

I know a lot of single sistas. A lot…. They are smart, beautiful, college educated and all around wonderful women. But for one reason or another they remain chronically single. I call this condition SSS. Also known as… Single Sista Syndrome. The symptoms might include the following: Loss of excitement when meeting new brothas. Consistent complaining and mood swings. Comparing oneself to others within the same social circle. Overconsumption of food items containing chocolate. *If these symptoms last for more... Read more
Love comes in many forms. His love for my mother set the foundation as to how I would view men and relationships. I can never repay him for the love and kindness he has showed me but I can show appreciation and gratitude. This is for him. Read more
Sistaqueens, the brothas have spoken… They are reading and soaking up all these jewels I’m droppin’. I have received several messages from the brothas asking me how to read the ladies. Let’s start… You’ve met a pretty sista. She’s everything you want in a woman. She is the epitome of modesty and flyness. What more could you ask for? But, something isn’t right. She seems to be after more. You can never please her now. At first the flowers and... Read more
He said he saw me on a Friday. I was coming out the mosque and I caught his eye. I guess I had it goin’ on that day… He was a kufi wearing, dashiki donning, Africa medallion down for the revolution type of brotha. Oh yeah, and he was a vegan. I have a soft spot for tree huggin’ Black brothas. Anyways… I wasn’t talking to anyone so I accepted his offer to get to know me better for the... Read more
Ramadan Greetings! The excitement is in the air. I can feel it! Ramadan is here!!! So, we are in the midst of another Ramadan and you just realized that you are *still* single. Time to get those duas ready… On a serious note… Ramadan is a time filled with gatherings and social functions. With that being said it can be a lonely time for someone who is not connected to a particular community and even more lonesome for the single... Read more
I must seem like good wife material to these brothas… Second wife material that is. Let me break it down for those of you who don’t quite understand. In Islam, a man is allowed to have more than one wife. He can have up to four if he so chooses. Now there are rules when it comes to this practice. He must be financially stable and just to all of his wives. This is not like a harem thing where... Read more
