Positively Powerful Fatimah Halim
Fatimah Halim began her professional life in New York City as back-up singer for Laura Nyro and recorded with Jimi Hendrix as a member of Ghettofighters. Today, Fatimah takes great joy in the meaningful work she performs through the project that has driven her passion for the past fifteen years: the Rites of Passage Programs for Phoenix area youth. Her dedication to promoting the development of women and girls is
evident in her latest book, “You Grow Girl”; through her Sistah Circles; and through her latest project Blueprint for Womanhood: Reinventing Ourselves at any age. She has co-hosted the local KTAR radio teen talk show “At The Crossroads”; cable talk shows “Focus: Video Profiles” and “Think About It: Perspectives from Women of Color”; and “Real Life Focus” on KISS Radio in Phoenix.

In May, Fatimah will organize a “Symposium for Mothers, Daughters, and the Women in their Support System”: Blueprint for Womanhood: Reinventing Ourselves at Every Age. Mothers, daughters, sisters and girlfriends expand their worlds by sharing traditional Sweat Lodges throughout the Phoenix, AZ Valley. Economic and ethnic boundaries melt as girlfriends of all ages convene for a Festive Night Out under the stars. An All-Day Symposium treats women and girls to a World Café morning and mind-opening afternoon workshops. Finally, a Rite of Passage Ceremony connects the hearts of 200 girls from all religions and ethnicities as they step into womanhood. More details: She is also one of the keynote speakers at the event.
