In 1975, the late Muslim American leader, Imam W. Deen Mohammed, renamed his community’s national network of schools in honor of his mother, Sister Clara Muhammad (1899-1972). Join us for a screening of “Clara’s Fruit,” a short documentary film that honors the legacy of Sister Clara, who during the 1930s Jim Crow era, founded the first private Muslim school system in the United States. Talk by multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker, Aïdah Aliyah Rasheed, followed by a panel discussion. 🗓️ Wednesday, October 28 ⏰ 7:30pm 📍 Computer Science Building Room 104 @aidahrasheed #imamwdmuhammad #claramuhammadschools #islam #princetagram #princetonuniversity by @aidahrasheed
What happens when one woman refuses to let history disappear? For more than 30 years, Marion Stokes recorded television around the clock, amassing an extraordinary archive of around 70,000 VHS tapes. Directed by Matt Wolf, RECORDER: THE MARION STOKES PROJECT traces the life behind the collection—and how one private act of recording became an invaluable record of the way history was broadcast. Screening at BLACKBIRD: Saturday, 26 September at 2:00 PM Sunday, 27 September at 9:00 PM The Saturday screening will be followed at 4:00 PM by an online Q&A with archivist Aidah Rasheed, facilitated by Carmen Hassan.

Working on a new series of cyanotype prints. A portion of the proceeds from these limited edition prints (from a photograph I captured in Jerusalem (2023)) will go directly to @mecaforpeace ♡ There are a handful of people in the world that have already received test prints (or they’re currently in route), and I’ve got a couple of those left. If you’re interested, send me a DM. Would you like to preorder a print? by @aidahrasheed

So blessed to share that Clara’s Fruit @clarasfruit.doc will have its premiere week at both @sffilm and @atlantafilmfestival Having this film screened in San Francisco and Atlanta, two places that have profoundly expanded my heart, is deeply meaningful. This journey has been one of faith, collaboration, and love. ♡ Endless gratitude to our incredible team, our community, and everyone who has believed in us and this story. As @directedbymorgan beautifully put it, the history of Muslims in America from the African diaspora is vast and layered—this film is just a small glimpse into that rich legacy. Special thanks to @islamicscholarshipfund for helping us bring this vision to life and for supporting our ongoing impact strategy. Stay tuned—our website is launching soon! 🤲🏽 📍San Francisco International Film Festival | April 23, 2025 📍Atlanta Film Festival | April 27, 2025 by @aidahrasheed
