November 16, 2021 18. Huma Abedin on Shame Culture, The American Ideal, Active Participation, and More
Noor Tagouri in conversation with Huma Abedin on Shame Culture, The American Ideal, Active Participation, and More. ⠀ You may know Huma as the person who has been Hilary Clinton’s right hand, arm, and more, since 1996. And/Or maybe you know her from headlines relating to her former husband and then US representative Anthony Weiner and his sexting scandals. But in the following storytelling session we are being reintroduced to Huma Abedin: ⠀ A mother, adventurer, writer, someone who enjoys talking to strangers and talking about her faith as a Muslim woman. ⠀ Huma is a BTS kinda person. And while we get deeply into faith, controversial politics, mental health and the problem around asking people “why they stay?” in harmful relationships — the intention of this conversation is rooted in openness, reflections, and story. ⠀ As Huma says about why she decided to now take a center stage: “If you let someone else tell your story they are writing your history.” ⠀
Welcome to this episode of podcast Noor. ⠀ As always, at your service. ⠀

November 09, 2021 Editor’s Note 07: On Manifestation
My favorite solo episode yet. I recorded this after I received a message on Instagram last week asking if I could speak on manifestation.
“Manifestation” is a concept that has helped propel me into the work I do today. And as I reflect on what that really means today — it looks a lot different than I thought. ⠀
Manifestation: it doesn’t have to be specific, it just has to be open.
Enjoy xx ⠀

November 02, 2021 17. Gary Vaynerchuk on Humility, Evolution, Being a Child of Immigrants, and MUCH More.
Gary Vaynerchuk, AKA Gary Vee is an entrepreneur, investor, and leading mind in business, marketing, and internet culture. In addition to running VaynerMedia and being a top personality on the internet, Gary is a best selling author, in-demand speaker, and evolving leader. A few years ago, Adam asked me to connect with Gary at SXSW, where we were both speaking. Since that day, Gary and his team have been guides, mentors and teammates to Adam and I in different ways. It’s clear that his team’s positive, innovative, always-giving attitude starts from the top, with Gary. In my opinion, this leadership and team culture is one of the most underrated aspects of Gary’s world, and that’s exactly what I wanted to dive into. In this conversation, Gary and I get into humility, evolution, being the children of immigrants, and so much more. This is a really special episode — with unlocks all around. I can’t wait for the next one.
I hope you enjoy!

October 26, 2021 16. Amber Hikes on How to Be an Accomplice rather than an Ally, and The Power of Language
Amber Hikes (whose pronouns are they/she) is a social justice advocate and community organizer. They are the Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer at the American Civil Liberties Union where they provide vision, leadership, and direction for the ACLU’s nationwide strategy to support equity, diversity, and inclusion. This conversation is full, and full of my own learning. We get into what it means to be an accomplice vs. an ally, the power of language, approaching work through a lens of intersectionality, and more. I am left after this conversation, feeling more hopeful, feeling more clear, having a better understanding of what liberation means for myself, my community and the communities at large, and how we can all be of better service to one another. I hope you enjoy this one xx Follow Amber: www.instagram.com/amber__hikes www.twitter.com/amberhikes Follow Noor: www.instagram.com/noor www.noortagouri.com/newsletter

September 09, 2021 Editor’s Note 05: Welcome To AYS's Newest Investigative Project
Welcome To Our Newest Investigative Project; The project of a lifetime. Formerly Titled SSSS, Now Titled, "Rep: A Story About the Stories We Tell"
This investigative series was born from questioning where I picked up the ‘shame’ I felt around my identity of being Arab, Muslim, and American. Our industry, the media industry, has played a monumental role in the shame so many of us have carried throughout our lives when existing as who we are.
This investigation is more than a critique into how the American media’s misrepresentation of Muslims, it is about how the stories we have been telling ourselves about ourselves are not ones we always chose for ourselves. It’s about how there are feelings we, in America, have still not fully processed and then proceeded to wage war against the feeling: terror. It is getting clear answers about who we are as a people and the stories we choose to rewrite moving forward.
If America’s biggest export is its story, then how do we reclaim and rewrite the actual truths we know we’ve all been carrying. Pre and post 9/11.
This investigation will be led by our AYS Team with me, Dr. Maytha Alhassen, Zaron Burnett III, and each of YOU who choose to participate, in coproduction with iHeart Media. This will be a community led investigation and your stories, your voices, will be a critical part of our research.

August 24, 2021 #42: Soul-Full Reflections on Community with Ilyasah Shabazz and Suhaib Webb - AYS IFTAR 2021
Soul-Full Reflections on Community with Ilyasah Shabazz and Suhaib Webb
This past Ramadan, At Your Service had the honor of hosting a series of Virtual Iftars (dinners to break our fast). To really hone in on impact for these events, we tapped into some incredible leaders to guide us through themed conversations around intention and community. This truly was one of my favorite events I’ve ever been to, let alone hosted. When you’re in the Month of Ramadan, feeling all your feelings, and you receive blessings in the form of gems, with your community all together Live, there’s really nothing like it.
Last week we dropped a conversation with Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir and Iddris Sandu. THIS WEEK, we have the honor of revisiting a conversation between the esteemed Ilyasah Shabazz and Suhaib Webb. Professor Ilyasah Shabazz promotes higher education for at-risk youth, interfaith dialogue to build bridges between cultures for young leaders of the world, and she participates in international humanitarian delegations. She served as a member of the U.S. Delegation that accompanied President Bill Clinton to South Africa to commemorate the election of President Nelson Mandela and the Education & Economic Development initiatives. While she is frequently asked to speak about the Legacy of Malcolm X, she shares that it is her mother, Dr. Betty Shabazz’s wisdom, courage and compassion that guide her.
Suhaib Webb is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Public Service of NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. He has a degree in Education from the University of Central Oklahoma, and in Islamic law from al-Azhar Universiy in Cairo. He was named as a "Faith Leader to Watch" by The Center for American Progress in 2016, selected by the Muslim Community as one of CNN’s 25 Most Influential Leaders; as well as one of "Five Hundred of the Most Influential Muslims" by the Royal Islamic Studies Center in 2017. He is also currently the resident scholar at the ICNYU. And PS, he married Adam and I at our wedding :)
This conversation between Ilyasah Shabazz and Suhaib Webb on community and being there for yourself in order to be there for others just CLICKED. I’m currently reading the Autobiography of Malcolm X and listening to this episode again and it couldn’t be more timely. I hope you enjoy!
PS, In case you missed it last week, we played back another conversation from this event series, with Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir and Iddris Sandu. ays xx
Our sponsors, but more like friends, at Ahmad Tea helped us put so much intention into these events, and we could not be more grateful to have them as partners.
