    - - 2) Use this new point of views to challenge and add to the complexity of the overall American Muslim experience
      - 3) These point of views could be:
        
        a) A focus on the contribution of African slaves versus their oppression under chattel slavery
        
        b) Using the writing of Omar ibn Said and others to examine their changes in linguistic factors - and possibly their invention of a new language
        
        c) A focus on the Nation of Islam's way to create community versus the media's negative portrayal
        
        d) Looking at Sua'd Khabeer's "Muslim Cool" and finding how South West Asians/North Africans need to practice more inclusivity, and how their lack of inclusivity could be a result of white supremist war structures built to brandish people as "lesser than" for their survival
      - 1) Using concepts of afrofuturism and black speculative futures to discover new point of views on the Black Muslim experience

        Mapping Kingship: Use Ayub bin Soleiman's journey to map who he interacted with and where in Africa he came from
        
        Defining and Imagining new worlds: Think about his movements and his journey. How can you define what he's going through? Can you imagine new definitions, and how the world would have looked like if he did not interact with others?
      - Module 4
- - - - A project centered on Black Muslim contribution that flips a state of victimization to one of contribution and community engaging
      - Lesson plans and a syllabi centered on black speculative futures
- - - - Blog
        
        As I conduct my research on African American Muslims, I'll try to document new findings and discuss my idea in a blog-like format, hopefully to be uploaded on my main blog. I may do YouTube videos as well to document my findings
      - Podcast
    - - Science fiction writers, the world, and America
      - I found that adrienne brown's work connects with the structuralist thoughts of Roland Barthes, Levi Strauss, and others who argue that there is an underlying structure behind all literary products.
    - - Jemison's concept of worldbuilding is an important one, and I think that is a structure I would use to pursue my project
      - Speculative Futures
        
        What of the old ways do we need to make a new world?
      - Jemison, Brown, and Gumbs are actively changing frameworks and structures of delivery. Jemison's excellent worldbuilding project was meant to creatively look at things and actively build a new world, but also challenge the one we currently know. Brown and Gumbs alter the way we engage in academia or work, focusing on a constant trade between individuals to create something together
    - - Trust and love: Anyanwu's love for Doro does not match her distrust for him.
      - Gaslighting and manipulation: Doro's alleged superiority actually reveals his insecurity. He plays up a strong and compelling "image" of what Anyanwu desires, and uses that to gaslight and manipulate her
