"I worked with Ilyasah Shabazz in 2016. We had an event at the college I was teaching at in which I interviewed her on stage, followed by a book signing for her new book at the time. This was one of the best events I have ever been involved with. Ilyasah was professional and so easy to work with. More importantly, she spent so much time with students that to this day, in 2026, I still receive emails from former students reminding me of how much it meant to them to meet Ilyasah and the inspiration of her words. Like her parents, she is a treasure and I hope others have the same opportunity I had to work with her. It was truly an experience I will never forget. "
