Samira Abderahman Founder of the Black Iftar movement Chats with us to talk about "How to Promote Cross-Cultural and Interfaith Understanding through Black Iftar and dispel the misconceptions about why she started Black Iftar and not to give the episode away its not for the reason(s) you may think. Samira Abderahman, thought of Black Iftar while prepping for the upcoming month of Ramadan last year. The feeling was so intense, that she couldn't put the idea in her mental folder of "good ideas that I'll come back to at some point in this lifetime." She has organized community and cultural events since her early teens, and is proud to see the gatherings she started still continue many years later. Ultimately, she is driven by a need to create genuine, worthwhile, and lasting relationships and communities. She is passionate about culture, wellness, and community building, and contributes to related organizations locally and nationally. Samira brings experiences and best practices from a diverse range of industries, including the non-profit sector, community organizations, the music industry, and the tech world.

RI Host, Tariq I. El-Amin is joined by RI Cultural Contributor Layla Abdullah-Poulos who talks about her latest article in Haute Hijab where she discusses the importance of the Black Iftar. Whether it's the unresolved presence of intra-community microaggressions at community Iftars where African Americans are minority attendees, or the lack of culinary offerings that speak to the cultural palate of Black folk (in general), Layla makes the case that not only is the Black Iftar needed, but that she expects to see it continue to grow in the coming years.
