HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!!!!
We have an incredible episode for you this week with a very special guest, Cornell Jones! 🙌🏽 This one is inspiring, emotional, and powerful from start to finish. Cornell shares how he first discovered Cousin Connection, how he learned about Islam, and the beautiful (and sometimes challenging) journey that led him to revert.
We dive into everything from introducing Islam to your kids, to the responsibility that comes with being a Muslim creator, to the hesitations and misconceptions he had before converting. Cornell opens up about what reverting felt like, how Umrah changed his life forever, and what it was like telling his family he’s Muslim.
There are so many gems in this conversation; giving dawah to non-Muslim family, getting married after two months (yes...TWO!), and the exciting projects he’s working on including a book and clothing brand. We even talk about how the hijab inspired him in ways he never expected.
Grab your snacks, go for a drive, start your chores...whatever your Thursday ritual is, and tune in for a deep, heartfelt, and uplifting episode with the cousins.
Thank you all for the love, support, and beautiful messages every week.
WE LOVE YALL ❤️
