    Description

    For those of you who are counting on news from the ground in Gaza, you know and follow journalist Leali Shalabi who consistently provides daily 24-hour newscaps from Gaza. She’s not only sharing her process and commitment to covering Palestine, her insights into being a Palestinian American are mind blowing for us. We’re never too old or too proud to learn something new alhamdulillah.There’s been a lot of discussion about how Gen Z is changing the conversation on Palestine through social media. Hearing it from a Gen Z trained journalist who is also on social media to provide accurate information we can’t otherwise get from mainstream media means a lot to us.  It’s changed the language we are used to media using, as well as the news coverage being shared. As we say on the podcast, we have never been able to speak so openly on Palestine before 2023, and we really think social media has a lot to do with this. How is mainstream media falling in line and how is it not?The tides have turned, as the ICJ trial today proves, and we credit the new language of media fueled by the visual story of Palestine and thank journalists by choice as well as the journalists doing it under duress directly in the line of fire. We pray for their protection, reward, and freedom, as well as for justice on the world stage today. Allahuma ameen.Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music or head over to our website to listen today and share it with a young person considering journalism.    Leali Shalabi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lealishalabi/Send esims to journalists in Gaza now: https://gazaesims.com/esim-purchase-tutorial/ Follow Palestinian journalists on IG@motaz_azaiza@wizard_bisan1@gazanewslive@gazamedicvoices@lealishalabiFollow Palestinian voices on IG@imeu@iampalipina@sbeih.jpg@jenanmatari@paccusa@dcipalestineAllies on IG@jvpaction@greg.j.stoker @owenjones84@breakingthesilenceisraelWeb: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: salam@mommyingwhilemuslim.comFB: Mommying While Muslim page and Mommyingwhilemuslim groupIG: @mommyingwhilemuslimpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrrdKxpBdBO4ZLwB1kTmz1wSupport 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!
