Description

Decorated Educator Dr. Sawsan Jaber comes on to discuss how our students are dehumanized in schools through curricula, bullying, and well intentioned harm created by school districts who create environments of “invisible” Palestinian and other Arab students at a critical juncture in their and our collective histories. While media violence is definitely at play in making Arab and Muslim students unsafe on campuses, educational violence is also taking place. As she told us after the recording, every Representative, every Senator, every President was once in school, so education can certainly make a difference in how they understand and legislate and conduct foreign policy. ?Despite the multitude of harms our students encounter in schools as their Palestinian identities are retold for them, Dr Jaber identifies several action items for us to rectify it. This is certainly an episode where we can make change happen right after we turn off the episode insha’Allah, so don’t miss the opportunity! ?Tune in at 6pm on Apple podcasts or head over to our website landing page to hear the latest in our Series this month: What’s Going on in Palestine and share the link with a friend.Links:TranscriptEnding Curriculum ViolenceEducator ToolkitCountering IslamophobiaDr. Jaber on IG: @sjeducateSupport the show1.

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!
