"Reclaiming Our History and Creating Our Spaces" Khutbah by Fatima Dadabhoy (8/25/17)

In this gripping khutbah, khateebah Fatima Dadabhoy informs us about a number of diverse Muslim women role models who played pivotal roles throughout Islamic history. She calls to attention the need for our community and leaders to highlight more positive female representation when discussing our Islamic history. August 25th, 2017 at The Women's Mosque of America.

 

Bio:
Fatima Dadabhoy‘s three favorite topics are women’s rights, religion – specifically the Constitutional right to freedom of religion and the Islamic principle that there is no compulsion in religion – and cats. Her childhood experience of being bullied for her religion and the post-9/11 backlash against AMEMSA individuals set her on a path to work on behalf of disadvantaged communities. She previously worked as a civil rights attorney for the Council on American-Islamic Relations and currently works as the managing attorney for intake at the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. Fatima’s self-care regimen includes crafting, being out in nature, and watching copious amounts of CW television shows. She one day hopes to open a cat sanctuary.

Samia Bano is the author of the forthcoming book How To Make Change Fun & Easy. She serves as the Happiness Expert & CEO of AcademyOfThriving.com, a transformative educational institution dedicated to helping ChangeMakers learn how to change their lives and the world with love.
Samia’s expertise in creating change with love is grounded in her academic training and hard won life wisdom.  As a survivor of child sexual abuse, Samia began her quest for inner peace & positive change when she was merely 8 years old.  After more than 20 years of struggle, Samia successfully eliminated suffering from her life & learned how to take control of her happiness.  She now leads a thriving life full of inner peace, purpose, and prosperity.
The key to Samia’s success lies in her learning to create change with love.
One of the most important lessons Samia learned in her journey of transformation from a survivor to thriver is that we are all interconnected, interdependent parts of a whole.  As such we cannot achieve healing and peace for ourselves in isolation or at the expense of others.  Indeed we heal ourselves by healing others.  This understanding led Samia to dedicate her life to the work she is now doing as a Happiness Expert.  Samia’s clients say they “feel protected”, are able to connect to their passions in life, and experience a “deep sense of peace” as they work with her.  To learn more about Samia’s life and work, visit AcademyOfThriving.com.
