It is with sadness and joy



It is with sadness and joy that I announce Aminah Raheem Smith passed

on August 23rd, peacefully in her sleep and shortly after visiting with her family.

This bird has flown, God rest her soul.


Aminah frequently expressed her love and appreciation for her many teachers, students and community. The family thanks Soul Lightening for

your dedication to your healing mission.


Philip, Aminah's son

In her own words


"Each of us carries the light,

and our own unique purpose, within us.

We arrived here with them; their expression will bring us the inner joy of being true to ourselves.

We have a responsibility to truly stand in that light

and bring it to others.


With my heart and soul I encourage you to trust,

and to act upon, your own gifts of spirit."


---Dr. Aminah Raheem
