Powerful Muslim Sister - Sofia Servando Baig

My friend Supreet introduced me to the work of Sofia Servando Baig a while back. She is 19 and is a spoken word poet from Montreal, Canada - she has recited her poetry at the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) Conference which was held in Chicago, Toronto's MuslimFest, and she also took part in the Muslim HipHop tour "HipHop4Islam". I think one of the most powerful qualities a person can have is eloquence, and this girl CAN WRITE! Here's what she said about her poetry in an interview: "All my poems are personal and are a reflection of how I feel as a Muslim, as a woman, as a sister, as a daughter, as a result of my place in society. I speak about what i know and I don't speak about what I don't know."
