The Litter Box

Ramy is a 2019 show written by Ramy Youssef about Muslim American and Arab American life and difficulties. While we both loved this show there's definitely a lot to discuss!

We really went all over the place.

The one where construction ruined everything

In this episode of the Litter Box we talk about how we mainly talk about how we celebrated Eid. We also talk about some life updates and tell some funny stories. It's a very chill and low key episode all around. Enjoy :)

In this episode of the Litter Box we tell some stories about white people trying to discuss Islam with us in a condescending manner, as part of our Straight from the Caucas Mountains segment. We then jump into some Ramadan food traditions and cravings we're having. Enjoy!

TRIGGER WARNINGS: This episode mentions and/or discusses white people with a superiority complex, whitesplaining, Islamophobia and commodification of Ramadan.

Episode 3 of the Litter Box! This episode truly adheres to our concept of literally talking about whatever is on our mind. We begin talking about fetishization, cultural appropriation and gentrification. We also touch on Rachel Dolezal, some important MoC and Meghan Markle again. Lastly we talk a bit about Ramadan and the importance of spirituality being genuine rather than forced. We hope you enjoy our discussion!

TRIGGER WARNINGS: This episode mentions and/or discusses fetishization of POC bodies and cultures, cultural appropriation, gentrification, the Rachel Dolezal phenomenon and forcing religion on others.

Episode 2 of the Litter Box! We've got a full box of litter for y'all this week. In this episode we mainly unpack the Nice for What music video by Drake and the women's edit of This is America by Nicole Arbour. We also touch on some other topics including Israeli Apartheid and the Soleiman Faqiri case. 

TRIGGER WARNINGS: This episode mentions and/or discusses antiblackness, misogyny, sexual assault, state violence against bipoc (specifically police brutality against immigrants and refugees), and settler colonialism.
