## Resource

On Episode 232 of The Qasim Rashid Show: I host two amazing guests. First is Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of the late, great Al-Hajj Malcolm X. Dr. Shabazz joins the show to talk about her new book, Malcolm in the Desert . I personally couldn’t put it down. Part history, part memoir, part diary of someone hurting and someone resilient—the writing is eloquent, painful, and breathtaking, and our conversation goes deep into her father’s transformation.
