Great Chicago Fire


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

As Salaam Alaikum Ikhwaan!

I don’t know what is going on in Chicago maybe snow?

But Allah doesn’t tell me stuff for no reason.

Anthropology is a science that I practice.

Much is recorded in song.

I, like many other Black girls, learned historical songs not knowing what they meant. But Inner-city Griots ensured that our history lived through us.

In sha Allah this will be a new segment. Or just a branch on our Black History Family Tree.

More like ROOT!!!

I wonder if Mother Leary was Black. I mean, the FD didn’t get there until twenty minutes after the call…

I meant concrete not cement.

fyi

I’m Hiram’s daughter so I know too much about building but FYI:

cement + water = concrete

Black Classical

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The Kanneh-Masons, led by big brother, who is world renowned, have finally released an album, geared toward young Black children as an introduction to Classical, in which they are proficient.

Not “Old-Fashioned”

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum

Update:

For your foundations; they call girdles “waist trainers” now and pettipants “pant liners.”

Valentine’s Day

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum

This man i think was okay.

He believed in old fashioned values like courting.

And was martyred because he wanted people to carry on these traditions and families and the government martyred him because they cared about colonialism and WAR.

The only problem is that the holiday in America is celebrated on the day they killed him!

Love every second
