Description
This week’s episodes features Fatoumat Jikineh, who we had the honour of sitting down with back in March. She walks us through her journey of awakening and personal transformation which lead to her becoming a practising muslim and Niqabi. We talk about the expectations and pressure faced by individuals in the Muslim community, particularly in relation to dress and behaviour. The conversation explores the struggle of readiness and the fear of judgment when it comes to making lifestyle changes. Furthermore, we dive deep into the influence of Fatoumat’s late father on her life and the community through highlighting his support for women's rights and his advocacy for treating women with respect and equality. As am imam, we learn about his unconventional style of leadership and the close bond he had with with daughter. For a man with many hats, Fatoumat shares with us how things changed for herself, her family and community when her father was diagnosed with an illness.
