The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Stowe will be welcoming the Muslim Girls Making Change on February 4 at 4:30 pm at St. John’s in the Mountains Episcopal Church on the Mountain Road in Stowe. Everyone is welcome to attend. Muslim Girls Making Change represents an effort by four Burlington and South Burlington high school students, members of Vermont’s Muslim community, to use poetry and community action to challenge gender roles, fight racism and stand up for social justice. Balkisa Abdikadir, Hawa Adam, Lena Ginawi and Kiran Waqar are the four composing the slam poetry group, all first generation Americans. The group was created, according to the girls, “so that we could show the world out there the different side of Muslims. Not the ones they see in the media… but the real ones, the nice ones, the ones out there that do things for their community. The ones that want to make a change. Which is part of our religion.”
