Description

Mom doc Sarah Syed tells us what it's like on the other side of the bed--when you're not the doctor, but the mom with a critically ill infant. Her story of duaa and dawa is not to be missed. ​She's not just Imani's mom. She's our shero so much so, that she inspired us to collaborate with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We found out this year that not only do they cure the sickest cancer patients, they aren't religiously affiliated and serve all patients regardless of race, religion, or the ability to pay.​This Ramadan, join Mommying While Muslim in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Cancer kills more children under the age of 14 than any other disease. Children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases often need transfusions, physical and cognitive therapy. Your sadaqah can help St. Jude provide the best care and treatment for patients. ​​Plan to donate sadaqah to support the treatment of childhood cancer at our Virtual Iftaar for St. Jude this year on 4/18. If you can’t attend, then hit the link in the evite to donate your sadaqah generously.Links:Imani’s story as told by her dad: https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/GiftFunds/GiftFunds?px=6728581&pg=personal&fr_id=39300  Attend Mommying While Muslim’s Virtual Iftaar on 4/18 from 6-7pm EST: https://www.facebook.com/events/251564906503605 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!
