    Description

    All our kids are at different stages, as are we on our individual parenting journeys. Let's help each other with our experiences so we're not daunted by what sometimes our cultures or histories have made unnecessarily taboo for us. Let's talk about sex, baby!We want to make sure we don't perpetuate the cultural biases against normal development, within the framework of the Islamic household and its training. Join us as we tease through "appropriate" sexual education, and visit some of the resources we've found helpful in our field research we're conducting on our kids every day.Links1) Sex Education  https://muslimmatters.org/2007/06/26/sex-the-muslim-ummah-part-1/2)  A Muslim Boy's Guide to Life's Big Changes https://www.noorart.com/A-Muslim-Boys-Guide-to-Lifes-Big-Changes3) A Muslim Girls' Guide to Life's Big Changes  https://www.noorart.com/A-Muslim-Girls-Guide-to-Lifes-Big-Changes4)  A newer resource we have NOT vetted yet, but encourage our listeners to try out and give us some feedback   https://www.noorart.com/How-to-Get-Hijab-Ready5)  Where Uzma first learned the term "menstruation" in 3rd grade and scarred her mom http://judyblume.com/books/middle/margaret.php6) Natural deodorant  https://www.nativecos.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMInpjXlbS94wIVkyCtBh2XpgBTEAAYAyAAEgISW_D_BwE  Web and Blog under "Voices": www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: mommingwhilemuslim@gmail.comFB: Mommy While MuslimIG: @mommyingwhilemuslimpodcastSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mommyingwhilemuslimpodcast)

    Mommying While Muslim is a one of a kind podcast where two American born and bred Muslim moms share their experiences to raise second generation kids. Having experienced both pre and post 9/11 America, they're acutely aware of the unique challenges their families face on top of the regular messes that all moms share. Mommying While Muslim is a space to take back their stories, and tell those no one will air on the news or portray fully or fairly in the media.Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri are moms first, careerwomen second, and global citizens at heart. They meet taboo topics head on because they weren't allowed to do it growing up, not at home or at school and work. They aim to better their immediate households, communities, and their momsisterhood the world over by telling the truths sometimes people don't want to face or to hear. Not everyone has the privileges they have, and they are eager to learn more than they are to share their own experiences. Always looking to give back, they find women and families who need a mic because no one needs a voice; they just need an opportunity to speak. Besides tough social issues, they also tackle political ones because when laws affect their kids, they're coming for them as well as the ones who make them! There's no lane that doesn't get taken here.Along the way, they recruit momallies for Muslim Americans who have been inordinately targeted for the last 20 years. True moms know that ALL our children deserve to be safe, loved, and happy, and we bust every yellow brick on the Islamaphobic road to make sure they all are. If you like good trouble, this one's for you!
