Career
Baiyina W. Muhammad received her B.A.S. in African Diaspora Studies from Bennett College for Women. During her tenure at Bennett, she studied abroad at the University of Science and Technology (UST) in Kumasi, Ghana, West Africa. She earned her M.A. in History from North Carolina Central University; and her Ph.D. in History from Morgan State University. Dr. Muhammad’s research interests and publications include African culture and identity within the African Diaspora and the Black press. Her current research project is an examination of Black Muslim women who are former members of the Nation of Islam (NOI) and now identify as member of the Warith D. Mohammed (WDM) community. Her analysis of Black Muslim women performs two roles; it places women within the center of a movement that we know little about to illuminate their role as community builders; but also to disrupt the current discourse that renders Black Muslim women invisible.
