EP 18 THE ASIAN MULSIM EXPERIENCE FT. DOCTOR AIMAN (@ITSDOCTORAIMAN) OF YK ASIA  GUEST: DOCTOR AIMAN -Asian Muslim Culture and heritage journalist AND host of YK Asia Podcast  @itsdoctoraiman https://www.instagram.com/itsdoctoraiman/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

On this episode, I am having a conversation with Doctor Aiman, an Asian Muslim Culture and heritage journalist and host of YK Asia Podcast (Digital media publication representing Asian Muslim communities). She was previously a medical doctor by trade and now during the pandemic is transitioning to a journalism career focused on providing Asian Muslim communities a platform and voice. She is an African Arab/South Asian Muslim with her childhood spent all over Asia and spending a lot of time in Turkey during her adulthood where she considers her roots in Pakistan but having deep connections to Turkey as well making her a Diaspora Asian. She is currently spending the pandemic back in Pakistan with her family.  In this episode, we talked about her childhood, her upbringing, her identity, and the identity issues that she had to deal with growing up and her finding her true self and identity through reconnecting with her culture and being more close to her Islamic faith. She gives a good perspective on the Asian Muslim culture/identity and talks about the misconceptions people from the West have of Islam and the Muslim communities in Asia.  If you want to understand more about Islam and the Asian Muslim communities, make sure to tune in to this episode and also follow and listen to Doctor Aiman on her own podcast which goes further into the Asian Muslim experience.  Thanks for listening!
