Our name pays homage to the African women who braided rice and other grains into their children’s hair for sustenance and survival during the Middle Passage. Their creativity and love in the midst of sorrow and struggle seeded an ecosystem of community and self-reliance that continues to travel across time; it nurtures us today and encourages us to throw seeds of our own. 

Throwing Seeds is a love letter to Black women crafted by Black Muslim women- a space to rediscover ourselves, tell our stories, laugh, and grow together. As Black Muslim women, we till the soil around us everyday; harvesting the wisdom of the past, while planting seeds to enjoy in the present.
