Na’ima B. Robert sits down to answer the internet’s most searched questions about her, and the answers go far deeper than Google expected. From her mixed-race South African heritage and her conversion to Islam, to marriage standards, polygamy, unhappy marriages, and what it truly means to raise good Muslim men, Na’ima holds nothing back. What does it mean to be too black for the Muslims and too Muslim for the black community? Is a woman’s worth really tied to whether she gets married? And is Islamic masculinity about dominance, or something far more demanding? Na’ima B. Robert is an author of multicultural literature and the founding editor of SISTERS Magazine, the UK-based Muslim women’s publication. Born in Leeds to a Scottish father and a Zulu mother, both from South Africa, she grew up in Zimbabwe and studied in England before converting to Islam in 1998.
