ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the author's interviewing experience with Tayyibah Taylor. Tayyibah Taylor is the founding editor in chief and publisher of Azizah magazine, an award-winning publication. In 2009, she was named one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World by the Middle Eastern think tank The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre. She has appeared on CNN and CNN International, commenting on current affairs, and she has been featured on NPR and local television stations. She has presented lectures on Islam and Muslim women at national and international conferences. She presently works on the steering committee of WISE, an organization that convenes global Muslim women leaders and fosters Muslim women's participation in Islamic law and contemporary debates. Tayyibah Taylor narrates that this is not a 'how to be a Muslim woman book'; it is a reflection of Muslim women in America and who they are.
