Last week in Philadelphia, the Muslim Wellness Foundation put on the first Black Iftar Philly. Among the very special guests in attendance were poets Tariq Toure, Sadiyah Bashir and none other than Black Iftar founder Samira Abderahman. It was, as the Black Iftars preceding and coinciding with it, a beautiful evening, filled with good food, deep respect and fellowship. Through her fidelity to the source, Samira has ushered in a great work in the world. May she be blessed and kept always.
Here are a few of the photos I took that night.
