We are joined by a special guest today, Noureen, from “Muslim Matchmaker” on Hulu. We discuss “The Namesake” today, a film directed by Zohran Mamdani’s mom, Mira Nair. Starring Kal Penn, it tells the story of an American born desi boy coming to terms with his culture, family, place in life all while discovering what his name really means to him.
