New in Town

Salaamu 'alaykum all. I'm new around here, trying to find my way around the place. It may take a bit, but I'm determined to learn the area- down the block, 'round the corner, and up the hill.
I don't really have the time right now to go into detail of who I am or why I chose to move into this neighborhood, but I will give this much:
my name is Mumtahanah (straight out of Jersey, y'all!), and I am an African- American Muslimah. Very little, but that's all you get for now; stayed tuned though. I plan to have good articles (homeschooling, alternative healing, etc.), poetry, patterns, and what ever else happens to move me at the time.
Let me state now however, that while I am Muslimah, I don't get down with all the cliquish, debate this, debate that, mumbo-jumbo too many of us (in my opinion) waste time on in the ummah. In other words, what you will find here is me- with all my good points mixed right in with the bad because unfortunately I am... umm, what's the word... oh, human. So, in nutshell, don't be sending no bad vibes this way via neg. comments, runnin' up on a sista if you're around the way, or tryin' to attribute my personality to all Muslims. All that I offer from this tiny corner of the block is a little something mu... enjoy.
Peace
