| Rabia Rajab is a survivor of infertility and IVF 🌟. Call it mother's intuition, but she knew before the doctors did about how tough her journey was going to be and initiated a decade long trip that would make most of us cut and run. Certainly, the Force (and the 4th) are with her.  💰 The costs of treatments are not only financial, but as you'll hear, social and emotional as well. For anyone considering it, this is a MUST listen💕.  👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Rabia and her husband did not have a supportive community of Muslims going through the same process. That's on all of us, y'all.  That is not okay. We need to fix that by speaking up about infertility awareness and treatments🤝.  Note: Make sure you swipe left.  Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or head to our website landing page and listen there.  #IVFjourney #Infertility #MuslimsAndIVF #HopefulParents #EmotionalSupport #CommunityLove #FindYourVoice #notalone #muslimmoms #muslimfamily #musliminfertility

 Fahd Al Binali of IQRA Network joins us today to discuss his role in creating the platform to teach Quran and Islamic studies without children hating either or both. His specific interest in gearing education toward Western audiences is especially important because it focuses on application of these principles in students’ lives. This requires innovatively training and treating instructors in an organized way with accountability on all sides. IQRA fosters the relationship between teachers and students instead of the fear and dread that a lot of us experienced when learning Quran. We certainly didn’t have teachers with such integral preparation to engage Muslim American kids in our childhoods.  Uzma’s experience with the platform has been exemplary and her son is busily memorizing Juz ‘Amma, angry at her for not doing so herself. IQRA’s created a monster! Listen to this episode for a free course offered by IQRA Network to one blessed listener, and the first person to get the code word to us via DM or email at [email protected] will win.  Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or click on link in bio to hear this episode.

 @browndages co-founder Instisar Bashir joins us today to describe the product she created with her husband in order to provide POC with options to cover up their wounds with products that actually blend in with their skin. For too long, we’ve had to explain the mainstream bandaids when people can clearly see them on our darker skin when it’s really not relevant to discussions at hand. Can we just cover them up and move on already? Heal in silence!  Find out how this mompreneur created Browndages with NO EXPERIENCE in creating such a product and ended up on Shark Tank. There they won the support of no less than 3 Sharks, including Mark Cuban, who committed his NBA franchise to wearing only Browndages. This is a terrific example of how to support Black owned businesses AND to learn how to pursue our mompassions.  Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or click on link in bio to hear this episode.
