Reflections
Sharp witted and bracingly candid, Shabazz unpacks the adverse effects of incarceration on loved ones-often hidden and damaging to tell a personal story of recovery from the shame into a spirit-filled life of advocacy and support for the most vulnerable.
" Auntie Khadijah's voice tells the story of women impacted by Mass Incarceration!"
"Gripping storytelling Haqiqah Abdul-Haqq"
Like Toni Morrison, Khadijah Shabazz (lovingly called Ms. Khadijah by many of us who know her well) also wrote when the babies were sleeping. Ms. Khadijah wrote after calls from loved ones inside prisons and jails, in the midst of fighting for justice upon loosing a son to police violence, or whilst counseling a woman with an incarcerated loved one on how to get the support she deserves. It is these experiences that make this book a useful gift. Ms. Khadijah forged work within the margins. Whether it is in personal losses of loved ones to incarceration, her experience giving birth as a teen and mothering countless others or knowing what it's like to support three men in prison - Ms. Khadijah has for us, as we'd say in church, a word.

Auntie Khadijah is one of the cornerstones of our community. I met Auntie Khadijah through her husband, Brother Saud, over 15 years ago. Immediately, she felt like a long-lost family member. We bonded instantly, and she and her husband would go on to spend several Ramadan's with me and my family before Brother Saud passed away. May Allah be pleased with him. Ameen.
In these times, people like Sister Khadijah are rare, so I am happy that I was able to meet someone like her and we pray that Allah preserves her. Ameen.
