Ramadan Reflections: Yasmin Stannard on faith, grief and Amani's legacy


Listen Later

Today’s episode is part of a special mini-series called Ramadan reflections, where I talk to guests about faith, life and Ramadan.

I’m honoured to be speaking with Yasmin Stannard, a mother, advocate, and campaigner, who has been raising awareness and funds for brain cancer in memory of her beloved daughter, Amani.

Amani was just 22 years old when she passed away from brain cancer three years ago. Since then, Yasmin and her family have dedicated themselves to honouring Amani’s legacy—through fundraising, awareness campaigns, and by sharing their journey of love, loss, and faith. In this conversation, we reflect on grief, healing, and the ways in which faith helps navigate unimaginable loss, especially during Ramadan, a time of deep spirituality and remembrance.

This is a conversation that I hope it brings comfort and connection to anyone who has experienced grief.
