Day 15 - Ny’Kisha Pettiford: “Who’s in the Kitchen at Night”

Revealing Ramadan: 30 Days, 30 Voices [mp3, 2:52]

by Trent Gilliss, senior editor

Ny'Kisha Pettiford with Girl Scouts troopThe 15th voice in our series is Ny’Kisha Pettiford, an African-American woman who works for a health care communications company. She grew up in a Christian household — her mother Catholic, her father non-denominational — and converted to Islam while in college. She talks about how her family celebrates holidays and the cultural warmth of her local mosque during the month of Ramadan.

Check back on this blog each day or on our Facebook page to hear a new voice in our “Revealing Ramadan” series. If you’re the on demand type or simply need a more automated form of listening, we’ve produced a special podcast feed that’s available now. Oh, and a special show too!
