The Granddaughter Project

Shaheen is a renowned the Sufi Islamic World peace advocate and a direct descendant of the revered Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, one of the most significant saints of the Indian subcontinent and founder Chistiyya order of Sufism.  The Granddaughter Project  charts the experience of three very different women from around the world, who collectively use their voices to improve societal attitudes towards women for the benefit of their granddaughters.  There’s Helga the Holocaust survivor, Kamla who was born into the Bengali Famine of 1943 and Lynette, a child of the Windrush generation.  Each woman tells her story to her granddaughter for the first time in order to empower them and to give them the wherewithal to succeed where each of them have failed.
