We are also joined by two contributors, Rev. Shandon Klein (Ph.D. Candidate) and Dr. Ameena Al-Rasheed. Rev. Klein discusses her essay, "Empowered Resistance: The Impact of an African Indigenous Faith on the 'Woman Who Was More Than a Man'." Dr. Al-Rasheed talks about her essay, "Sufi Islam and Anti-Colonial Politics." They demonstrate the power of diverse Black women's sacred resistance, revolutionary work, and creativity. The editors, contributors and the women who are the subject of their work "stand in their power." This is a link to the short film about Aline Diatta (the 'woman who was more than a man') that Rev.
