Do Women Deserve Equal Pay?
Haaaappy Thursday Cousins!!!
You already know what time it issss, another week, another episode of the CCP!
Last week, we addressed some comments asking us why we didn't speak up on what has been happening in Sudan more. As you know, we regularly cover the updates of what's been happening in Falasteen and it was a fair question to ask. Amir shared his thoughts in an episode last week and as usual, we asked you guys to share your thoughts and opinions on the episode and you did. Rightfully so. We read it, reflected and we responded in today's episode. We are sorry for ever making you feel like the Sudanese people who have been suffering for the past 6-7 months were not as important as those who have been suffering in Falasteen. We ask Allah to free the oppressed from the oppressors and grant them justice. Aameen!
We also spoke about a bunch of other things, like the gender gap (I'm rolling my eyes as I type this) and the fact that we're going to Australia...actually heading to the airport right after this upload!
Anyways, thank you guys for always holding us accountable and giving us that space to learn and grow - we love and appreciate you all. We hope you enjoy this episode! See ya in MELB!!!!! - Love, Sara & Amir
