Visceral News Reactions

Shownotes:

Our Muslim Moms and the News Series this month is an offshoot of our series of a similar bent from 2021. Sadly we aren't saying anything different this time around.

In this replay, Zaiba and Uzma cite past big headlines that affected their physical and mental safety. Ask yourself how news coverage would have been different, and HAS been different for non-Muslims suspects. When do Muslim Americans hold their collective breaths and why? And how is it all the same now?

Our expectations from media coverage must be higher and the bias of news coverage, because it endangers affected people, must be held to account. News coverage, and now social media coverage, result in perpetual Muslim grief. But only one of them is trying to undo oppression, while the other is a tool of it. Let's work together to prevent and punish dissemination of Islamophobic news coverage.

There’s slamming of our hands on the table so watch your ears. We apologize! Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, or head to our website to listen.

When Mainstream Coverage isn't Enough

Shownotes:

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.

They Are Not Just Numbers

Shownotes:

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. And share this episode with anyone who doubts the humanity of anyone for even a second.

Benevolence in the Face of Brutality

Shownotes:

Mariam Muhanna comes on today with experience both working and living as an expat in Gaza for several years prior to coming back to the United States. Hear about her day to day experiences and why she wants to go back. Also remember to pray for her many immediate family members who have been killed within the last 80 plus days. May Allah SWT reunite them all in Jannah (Heaven). Ameen. 


We get some insight into how Gazans are deeply affected by any losses in a tight community, but it’s still unimaginable. It’s a crime to dehumanize this place and its population in the ways the media and those in power have done, and we’re more than humbled to have Palestinian voices on our podcast to affirm the humanity of all people. We’re pretty sure, like us, you’ll want to go there one day to feel the beauty of the land and its people. May it be a reality soon insha’Allah.

Black Palestine

Shownotes:

Vice President of Operations at Pillars Fund Kalia Abiade. Pillars Fund is dedicated to empowerment and support of Muslim voices. We know that Muslims have plenty of voices, but no one to hear them and no mainstream platform where they’ll be taken seriously without having to first perform someone else’s self-righteous qualifier. 

Kalia was in Palestine tracing her family history when October 7th happened. Her chilling experience to get home is still being written in her heart and mind, and we pray she can make sense of what happened there. As we all are since. Connect all resistance movements with Black America, press accountability, and how to talk to our kids about oppression are packed in here. 

In addition, as someone genetically endowed to lead social justice movements, Kalia shares the humanity of Palestine as well as the atrocities of occupation she witnessed before 10/7 to provide context of what that attack meant for all oppressed people. Her quiet wisdom is critical in considering our roles against all injustice, and to maintain humility while doing it.

Dehumanization Weaponized in Schools

Shownotes:

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! 💬

Shownotes:

Zaiba & Uzma come on today to not only endorse that podcasting kicks a$$, but that they do, too. A far cry from where they started 5 years ago with imposter syndrome and trying to do it all, to where they are now and what’s cooking for the future at Mommying While Muslim.

Mindful Muslimah and Not Doing it ALL

Shownotes:

Mindful Muslimah joins us today because listeners of her podcast of the same name may believe, “Oh my God, she does it all!” From homeschooling, to cooking with multiple aged kids with multiple food issues, to running businesses and teaching, she has her hands in everything. How DOES she do it all?

As our title suggests, she doesn't do it all…at once. And definitely not without her secret sauce, which she describes during the course of this episode. Moms in all stages of mommying should tune in, but moms who were just born or are early on in their journeys, please tune in. Had we had this episode early on in our own mommying careers, we would have felt a lot better.

Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher or head over to our website and you can listen from the landing page. Share this episode with a mom you believe is doing everything, and with a mom who tells you she’s afraid that she isn’t.

The Power of Voice and Public Speaking

Shownotes:

Khalila Lister, founder of Power of Voice Academy, comes on today as a TedX speaker and homeschooling mom of 4. With her business and background in front of large audiences, she trains people to take the stage or just gain confidence in public speaking. In this time of trial for the ummah and particularly for the people of Gaza, we are seeing more people speaking up for liberation. They’re making their cases more freely than they’ve ever been able to do before. Thanks, social media!

If you’ve always shied away from the stage or the mic because “it’s not my place,” or WORSE, “I can’t” speak in front of audiences, listen up! This month’s series is Muslim Moms Kick Ass because they CAN do great things even with great odds. We CAN ALL do the same.

For those who’ve ever dreamed of being on TedX, learn the process and listen to Khalila’s huge special project coming up in early 2024, as well as her free offering coming up SOON in case you’re ready to speak about your passion. The time to be kickass has come.

Medical Missions for Moms

Shownotes:

Dr. Nour Akhras is a pediatrician infectious disease specialist who has gone on multiple medical missions during her career, even while pregnant! And then she wrote a book about it. That definitely kicks a$$ for our series this month!

Listen to her medical mission journey, from the life-changing first trip to now, and how she was able to put that into words. Publishing a book is hard, too, so she describes all the hard things she had to face that helped her write it. It’s hard to say it now given the state of the world, but so timely. We can all do hard things because all of us have kicka$$ in us. Let’s find Allah and our peace now.

Shownotes:

Saira Sufi was specifically requested by listener fans who remembered her story and resilience and wanted to see how she’s doing today.

Beating Texas Lobbies with BDS

Shownotes:

Why would United States Senators sign into law, a bill that combats the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) movement this past May 2023? Probably because BDS works. What is it and why does it matter so much to our lawmakers and to all Americans? While we find out, let’s ask ourselves, “Why do we consider Rosa Parks a momshero?”

States led the way in passing anti BDS laws, and have been doing so for years. Returning to the podcast is Bahia Amawi, a mom who was scheduled WAY BEFORE October to speak with us. This episode was recorded just after October 7th and since then, the world is witnessing what’s happened.

Bahia Amawi lost her job overnight when she refused to sign an employment contract with a school district that stipulated she would maintain an anti BDS stance. As a Palestinian and mom, she fought the state and came to us at that time when the ruling was pending. Find out what happened and where you can catch her right now on the screen.

Tune in at 6pm EST where you listen to podcasts (we aren’t on Spotify!) or head to our website and you can hear her there. You can click on the Shownotes tab there; click on the link about the BDS movement tonight!

Where Are They Now? Recovering After Neonatal Loss

Shownotes:

Warning: neonatal loss

Abeeha Hasan contacted us several years ago after experiencing the neonatal loss of her precious Jennah. It was really raw the first time around and since then, listeners asked us how she is, what’s up, and even notified us of her goings on since she was last here. There’s a LOT of big things she’s gone through and she was kind enough to come back and talk about it again as well as fill us in on what grief looks like now.

If you take nothing away from today’s episode, remember therapy, therapy, and more therapy. Abeeha will explain why. Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, or head to our website landing page and share this episode with a friend.

Mariam Ardati is a death doula and funeral director based in Sydney, Australia, walking Muslim families and their dying loved ones to their final destination for 17 years. Find out how a near death experience led her to transform her life, career, and helped her lead a true life of service as a doula during the most trying times of people’s lives.

If your idea of doulas is pretty set, this is a must listen! Mariam has been doing this for a VERY long time and has some valuable insights for anyone who wants to know how the end of life looks for us. The trends she notes in Muslim families are sadly familiar and also beautifully near to our hearts. We all have something to learn at her feet.
