The women, who are from diverse backgrounds and experiences, support and encourage each other to use their performance to reclaim their voice. They also demonstrate that Islam and music can coexist. Audrey Saparno takes us from the group\u2019s beginnings to her personal journey of discovery to accept music within her religion.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
