Black Muslim Woman
Black Muslim Woman PBS Short Film Festival
From the first line, “I feel like I’m on fire,” Mikel Aki’leh Jones delivers a powerful poem on beauty and blackness. Against a rhythmic score, Aki’leh enumerates the ways in which she’s been told that her black skin is “a sign of dirt” to others - and how she ultimately finds strength and confidence through her faith.
