Hello Everyone!
I am new here. Allow me to tell you a few things about myself. I am an African American female oginally from San Diego CA but now reside in Dallas Texas (2 years). I don't have many friends here but I work full time and am thankful for that. I have always been seeking the muslim faith for as long as I could remember. A few of my close friends are muslim and I would always ask questions about their faith. I began reading on the faith and the similarities between the things that I believed in started becoming very clear.
My next step is to find individuals here in Texas that can help guide me to seek the knowledge I need. I seek Allah daily these days. I did not always and my life had spiraled out of control for many years before my current decision. I have gone through alot in my 35 years and I want peace in my life and I know I will find that in the Muslim faith.
I have found one Islamic Center in my area, and I want to walk in but I'm a little bashful, not because I'm embarassed about changing my faith but because I'll be going alone. Like I said before this is all new to me. I feel bashful just writing this in a forum (smile). I want to ask my mother to go with me but she was brought up Southern Baptist and wouldn't understand my decision. Neither would the rest of my family.
Does anyone have any ideas for me. Are they groups that meet up here in Dallas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and it's nice to meet you all in advance!

so all I can advise you is to ask your Muslim friends to go with you as you mentioned you have Muslim friends. Atleast you know them and comfortable being around them. Insha Allaah our bros/sisters from Dallas would reply and might give you some useful information in no time, just stick around!
