Description

Samia Masood joins us today to talk about her harrowing experience through her son's illness and how she survived it. Life pre diagnosis and post-diagnosis is a real thing and very delineated in a mom’s mind and heart for life and we work out some trauma together. Her ordeal didn't end after her son’s initial fight was over, but the hot coals propelled her to do MORE--not just for her family, but for her community as well. Find out how. Check it out at 6 pm EST on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Alexa, Audible, Roku, Amazon Music or iHeartRadio.Note: In the soapbox, Uzma definitely meant to say CAIR-FL “condemns” not “condones.Links:Islamic Network Group Educator Resources: https://ing.org/school-overview/ Call CAIR-FL to find out how to support the Muslim student attacked at Chiefland Middle School: https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-florida-statement-on-recent-bullying-and-violence-at-chiefland-fla-middle-school/ Find Samia on IG and Facebook: @thinkandteachFind Samia on the web: https://www.thinkandteach.com/St. Baldrick’s Society: https://www.stbaldricks.org/get-involved?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0caCBhCIARIsAGAfuMxWP2ZHn43WxRiCXGdWwow6pxPdqd3S0tLU5gZlZm3zGs8zIcVh1hEaAssXEALw_wcBACCO American Chidlhood Cancer Organization: https://www.acco.org/blog/hospital-network-program/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0caCBhCIARIsAGAfuMz5x-iK_vB11ziNDKARYbaekwg7691Q9UxRxmIznufRnzhwJh9MFz0aAmJrEALw_wcB ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation in Virginia: https://www.askccf.org/ Mom support for childhood cancer: https://momcology.org/ Resources for kids with cancer: https://andrewslaughinggas.org/newsSpecial cakes for kids who have cancer: https://www.icingsmiles.org/Web: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: mommyingwhilemuslim@gmail.comFB: Mommying While Muslim page and Mommyingwhilemuslim groupIG: @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!
