Jameelah Salih is a 27 year Muslim woman born to what appears to be one
of the inner city's stronger blended American Muslim families. She
works as a hair stylist with her two best friends in the city's only
Muslim women's owned and operated hair salon, Covered Pearls. On
appearance and material possessions alone Jameelah seems to be doing
okay. What most don't know is that she is one traffic jam away from
losing control of her life. Post 9/11 stresses seem to be creating
negative impacts on everyone around her. Jameelah feels as though she
is walking on eggshells and questions her own place in society. She
prays for a change, but what will she do if change actually comes?
