In Episode 96 of the Raising Mums podcast, I interview Rukayat Yakub, a Montessori teacher and award-winning author. Rukayat has travelled the world studying Arabic and traditional Islamic sciences. In addition to pursuing a doctorate in Islamic leadership, Rukayat coaches leaders and mothers on navigating anti-Blackness - the inability to see and value Black humanity in their communities and homes.

In this episode Sister Rukayat shares:

Practical advice on navigating anti-Blackness in our communities

How the teachings in Islam help us address social issues

Racism in books and boycotting authors

Conversations about antiblackness with our children
