Description

Aneesa Husain is as proactive a Muslimah as we’ve ever met, and we LOVE it. She joins us on our Muslim Moms Overcoming Infertility series this month and has the deets on a few of the reasons why women pursue egg freezing, how to get the process started, and special considerations. We apologize for the coughing because #allergies, and the slight echo because #audiotech sometimes stinks. You can totally stand both because this is MUST KNOW info.We are getting A LOT of DMs and comments about the legality of fertility options in Islam, and we continue to urge everyone to find their trusted imam for those answers. WE are not qualified to speak on that. But we give space to everyone to share her story, and if it offends you, then it’s probably not for you. If it worries you, it’s meant to. If we aren’t worrying about these issues as Muslim Americans, then we are doing something wrong. Please don’t drop your fatawa here because we have imams who do that for us when we ask them for help.Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or head directly to our website.

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!
