My dear friend Sister Nida Ali departs this realm – her...

I really loved my Sister Nida Ali, who flew home to Allah this morning (March 3). I think what I appreciated the most about her was her ability to be a spiritual warrior who walked the planet earth.

What a fitting day to celebrate a great woman’s life: International Women’s History Day!
