Ilyasah Shabazz is remarkable. Her statuesque…

Ilyasah Shabazz is remarkable. Her statuesque beauty, flawless skin and stunning hair silences a room. Her warm personality and sense-of-self charms an audience. Her dazzling body of work — books, documentaries and a national tour — upholds her father’s, Malcolm X, legacy. Just one month after commemorating what would have been his 85th birthday and months after the 45th anniversary of his assassination at the Shabazz Center in Harlem, New York, the author sat down with us to talk about his legacy, his love and her latest project which pays homage to the legend she called daddy.

    She is my best sister-friend and works tirelessly to continue the legacy of her parents…I did not know her Father but I knew her Mom and loved her immensely. She loved children and wanted humanitarian rights for all. Dr. Shabazz empowered those who thought they could not be empowered. Dr. Betty Shabazz is one of my greatest inspirations.
