Mommying While Muslim

Intersectional Identity and Facing Erasure


Listen Later

Ikhlas Saleem of Identity Politics Podcast joins us today to talk about her intersectional experiences as a Black Muslim female and mom, or as she prefers to be identified, Moorish American mom. There are so many things to be learned on this episode! 

Non black Muslims are discriminatory toward black Muslims and guess what--black Muslims know it! Due to black erasure that starts in our history books on US soil, there are hard truths non black Muslims will never know, and it’s time to find and face the facts of our collective history. We reflect on the story of our beloved Musa (Moses--may God be pleased with him) and see a direct correlation to our current movements for equity and justice thanks to Ikhlas’ beautiful analogy and mind blowing connection.

We are so grateful to gain insight and forge relationships that we hope bridge gaps created by our misperceptions and ignorance of other moms’ experiences. May Allah make us able to change the world by recognizing and changing what’s missing within ourselves first. Ameen.

This is a can’t miss episode, and the links below will help anyone who questions the history we were taught.
