Description

We often hear stories about why people decided to convert to Islam, but what’s life like after taking the shahada?In Ep. 9 of Season 2, Rebecca Khan shares with us her journey to becoming Muslim and what attracted her heart to the religion.  A change of diet, new wardrobe and a flip in lifestyle, Rebecca opens up about her struggles with her identity post-converting. She explains adjusting to the change and how she managed not to lose sight of herself throughout it all. While some who are new to the religion change their name, Rebecca explains the decision behind keeping the one given to her at birth, and why she believes everyone should make their own personal choice in  what feels right to them. Being born and raised a visible minority is a struggle in itself, but becoming one in your twenties is on a whole new level. The now-mother of two shares her initial experience of wearing the hijab publicly for the world to see for the first time, and how she handled any negativity thrown at her. Rebecca also gives us a glimpse into her new business venture - Safinah Sailing! It’s a halal luxury yacht experience that offers private chefs, prayer spaces, halal food, and privacy. All of the things that make for an incredible getaway! We hope this episode gives you an insight of what a convert/revert experiences as they are welcomed into this new chapter of their lives.
