Description

We want to credit @trtworld for its article "What's it's like to be a parent in Gaza" that informs today’s episode. This is an older article from late October 2023, but it's awful how 90 days seems ages ago when we are talking about tens of thousands of unalived humans. It's critical to share the stories of ?'s when many in the world, and in our own country, still think it's okay to dehumanize people. This is the way they've been able to justify politicizing "ceasefire" when as moms, we know it's the only way to keep ALL our children safe.This month's series is Muslim Moms in the Media, discussing our hope that the misinformation and disinformation campaigns that assume we are all too stupid to look things up are seeing their days numbered. May it be so Allahum ameen. Criticism is not racism when we question actions, not beliefs. Join us this month as we follow the narrative and fact finding changes that have come with the democratization of information, but how to do it responsibly, and humanely.  The time to humanize Black and Brown bodies was yesterday, but we know we can catch up God willing.Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Googleplay, Amazon Music, or head to our website landing page using the link in our bio.

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!
