Attallah, the eldest daughter at 63, pursues an active career as an actress, author, diplomat, and motivational speaker.
Qubillah, aged 60, once worked as a proofreader at a law firm in Manhattan until difficult financial straits set in.
Ilyasah, 59, is a celebrated author, community organizer, social activist, and motivational speaker.
Gamilah, 57, has been actively involved with Malcolm X Legacy run by her sisters.
The youngest twins at 56 are Malaak, who is a human rights activist, and Malika, who has had several run-ins with the law for years.
Teaming up with the tech company Hingeto in 2017, the Shabazz daughters have established a clothing line dubbed Malcolm X Legacy as a tribute to their father’s lasting and priceless legacy.
Malcolm X Legacy presents an assortment of items that draw inspiration from Malcolm X’s twelve principles of human rights activism, education, economic independence, cultural pride, and justice.
Featured on the clothing line are hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and later artwork. You can purchase their merchandise at malcolmxlegacy.com or visit their social media pages.
