About Sistufara
Tufara Waller Muhammad is among the most consequential thought leaders and activists in contemporary social and economic justice. Despite influencing strategic leaders in social movements across the United States and Africa, her relative obscurity finds its roots in a syncretic ethos born of her Islamic faith and her familial heritage in African American Christian servant leadership traditions; as well as her belief that the organizer’s work is best evidenced when they are not in the foreground of the movement.
A political strategist and cultural organizer, Tufara used her role as the Cultural Programs Director at Highlander Research & Education Center to train artists and community organizers fostering intentional learning exchanges and collaborations from the US South to the Global South. Strategically impacting individual, corporate and philanthropic efforts by infusing the need to fund indigenous grass-roots causes, her efforts, always done behind the scenes and in coalition.
“We are all human and divine; all at the same time.”
