Description
Behind the veil, a Muslim woman's presence can evoke strong reactions. But who is behind the headscarf? Na'ima B Robert shares her story and invites you to hear from others like her in this candid and intimate portrait of sisterhood. As she recounts her journey towards embracing Islam, Na'ima reveals how covering her hair transformed her life. She speaks candidly about the experiences that empowered her, including the freedom to define herself on her own terms. Her words offer a unique insight into the lives of women who choose to live behind the veil, sharing their joys, sorrows, and convictions with conviction. Through Na'ima's story, you'll hear the strong voices of women who are seldom heard. Their perspectives on marriage, motherhood, stereotypes, submission, and self-image provide a vivid picture of a sisterhood that is both diverse and united in its faith.
