Chia, Zikora and Kadi all pray. What role does faith play in each of these women’s lives?
Because all these women were raised in families where religion was very important, their faith foundations shaped their views and considerations in their choices.
I think also that their desire to pray was a way to stay connected to their families of origin as well as their villages and provided a day to day stability for them. And Omelogor’s musings about watching the gatekeeper Mohammed praying several times a day just outside her apartment was so touching.
