On this episode, we give you some weekly updates, chat a little bit about Somalia and Football, we learn some French phrases, and most importantly we get to hear about the grassroots organization “Malikah,” another space that is creating “creative community.”
We hear from their founder, Rana Abdelhamid, an Egyptian Muslim woman from Queens NY, who founded this organization back in high school. Malikah is a non-profit anti-violence and mutual aid organization that builds power and safety for their community through self-defense, financial literacy, organizing, and healing programs. This nonprofit is dedicated to combatting gender and hate-based violence.
You can learn about Malikah through their website: https://www.malikah.org/
You can stay connected and up to date with Malikah through their Instagram account @wearemalikah
I hope to be heard by you all next week with more to share.
