Hidden Princess: The Rebirth of Making Mary 

"The main question when considering a volume like the one you are about to read is where to begin.

“Hidden Princess: The Rebirth of Making Mary” is an opus of great importance to those who seek to understand the dynamics and shadings of “The Black Experience” – and that it is not just one such experience.

As a history student, I am reminded of the saying of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad: “History is above all our studies. The most attractive and best qualified to reward our research. As it develops the springs and motives of human actions and displays the consequence of circumstances, which operates most powerfully on the destinies of the human being.”

Clearly, the events of individuals and families, neighbors and friends, as written here, occurred against the backdrop of one of the most troubled and turbulent periods of all time, a period whose aftershocks are still being felt today.

To weave a narrative like the one you are about to take in, a writer must have several qualifications of perspective and intellect. Such an author must be acquainted with the struggles of a people whose sojourn in America has been laden with a peculiar tribulation. She must empathize with and grasp the strivings and yearnings of “everyday people” to be loved and respected – to matter! This writer must be able to know, understand, and contextualize the great happenings of the era under discussion and how they affect the main characters as the apologue unfolds. The essayist who can create a full, robust read about the lives of “just plain folks” in times that are just plain apocalyptic is the successful scribe, indeed. Author Dedra Muhammad is this kind of writer.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOCO) – Four diplomas. Dozens of certifications and awards. And now, year-old Elijah Muhammad’s family says he’s the youngest African American to graduate college with a degree in computer science and cybersecurity.

Last week, KOCO 5 highlighted a year-old college graduate. Now, her little brother graduated at just 13 years old.

There’s a long list of accomplishments behind Elijah Muhammad’s name.

“I have 10 IBM certifications through Course Zero. I have one Google IT certification. I have four diplomas from Oklahoma City Community College,” the teenager said.

At 13, Elijah has crossed the stage as a college graduate and made history.

“I didn’t really understand the full impact of it until my dad fully explained it and was like, ‘You’re really doing this. You’re the youngest to ever do it,’” Elijah said.

And while he may not be your typical year-old boy, he says he still loves being a teenager.

“I currently attend OSU and am working on my bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity and forensics. I also attend Langston with a ,” Elijah said. “As much accomplishments as I have, I still go swimming, go outside, play basketball and still have fun and stuff.”

His family beams with pride at all he’s done and what’s to come.

“He is the smartest person I know. And regardless of if you’re older or not, it’s like I’ve never seen nothing like him,” said his sister, year-old Shania Muhammad, who also recently graduated college.

A speaker, a record-holder and a motivator, the world is at his fingertips.

“If you want to put your mind to making a , you can do it,” Elijah said during a recent speech. “If you want to put your mind to winning a state championship, you can do it. You just gotta put in the work that it takes to accomplish that.”
