As a single, Muslim mother with 3 beautiful daughters, using Dr. Shaakira's amazing T.A.L.K.S. system has completely changed my life. This program has taught me how to build a better relationship with my girls, identify the RIGHT sexuality content to discuss at the right time, and communicate our Islamic values and beliefs in a way they love and resonate with.

There was an situation where I overheard my son telling his friends he wanted to buy condoms. I had absolutely no idea on what to say or do. I emailed Dr Shaakira and by that afternoon we were on the phone talking it out. I was then able to have a conversation with my son and the end result was beautiful and has allowed openness, love, compassion, trust, and a non taboo relationship with sex.

Dr. Shaakira is knowledgeable and informative in demystifying the daunting task of talking to Muslim youth about sex and sexuality. She approaches her courses not only from an academic standpoint but also reaches her audience through personal experience and anecdotal narratives. She reminds us that the deen of Al Islam is a very sex-positive faith and that there is no need to be fearful of a topic that is very openly discussed in the Quran and in the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAWS). Her outreach should extend to Islamic School PTAs, Masjid programming, and school-aged health education.

I have gained some valuable knowledge that, I believe, is timeless and can be used by the recipient when they themselves become parents!

Participating in the Halal Sex TALKS course has increased my confidence in talking to my children about sex. I learned about the developmental and spiritual needs of my child and how I can address them.
