Mommying While Muslim

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!

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.

In this FIRST episode, Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri introduced themselves as two American Muslim mothers, born and raised in the USA and their unique places in history and geography. What did it mean for their kids who were also born here?

They have a combined eight children and over 25 years of parenting experiences to share.  So for those moms who feel alone dealing with Islamophobia, getting their kids to pray, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, all while managing their emotions during drivelines and PTA meetings, this episode, nay, this podcast, is your place to vent, to be seen, to be heard, and to be held.

The tech in this episode has improved VASTLY since, so bear with it--it only gets better the more episodes you tune into. If you haven't listened yet, what are you waiting for? Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts at 6pm EST every Thursday and SHARE THIS PODCAST with your friends.

Neil Matthews had us on when we first started podcasting for a captivating episode that helped US change what our views about Evangelicals were. We fully arrived ready to be attacked and were pleasantly surprised. We can really learn so much when we are willing to step into other people's shoes. 🌟 

It's an episode you won't want to miss! 🎧✨
EVEN though this was back in the day when Zaiba would multitask during recordings, so you can hear her filing her nails. 🧐 Uzma has since reformed her. Tune in tonight anyway at 6pm EST.

We're sharing part TWO of the BYU Religious Freedom Review Podcast Panel and plan to put Part 1 either in our Facebook group you hear about on this episode or at our Patreon--maybe both. Let us know if you want that part, but this one is pretty dang awesome.

Zaiba sits with two members of 3 Black Men podcast, Sam Gay and Robert Monson, as they all discuss their audiences, topics, inspiration to podcast, mistrust of religious institutions, as well as how podcasting frees them to be faithful.

Their conversation is candid and concise, but you'll want to tune in to these podcasters to hear more of their truths and wisdom. Go follow today and let us know that you did below!
