In a telephone conversation with YEN, Elijah Muhammad also said:

”We didn’t know it would explode into this kind of reality. We planned a strong foundation in education because we always knew education would take our children to higher levels. So that’s what we focused on, making sure that they are in good schools and also doing some training at home to ensure they stay ahead and understand the power of education.

‘My wife and I are excited about her taking this path and accomplishing so much. But her choices are the most beautiful part of the experience for us as a family and herself. After she completed her two associate degrees and graduated twice on the same day, May 14, 2022, I told her that she could take a break and hang out, and she said ‘no, dad. I want to keep pushing and go for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. We’re very excited.”
