✦A Chicago Homecoming✦
Thirty-five years. Two suitcases. One global vision.
Thirty-five years ago, Rayda Edding landed in Chicago alone with two suitcases and a heart that did not yet know how much it could hold.
Everywhere Allah sent her, He placed a sister in her path. Strangers became friends, friends became sisters, and sisters became family across continents and languages.
On October 10, that gift opens its doors to every sister ready to rise in Deen, grow with purpose, and build lifelong sisterhood.
✦Featured Speakers✦
Six voices. Six journeys. One circle.
