Laughing my hijab off

Asalam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
I don't know why but it feel like lurking into someoneelses conversation and you can't help but keep listening. I don't know if it is sad but i'm getting my daily laughs from this podcast.
I love how you carry yourselves and the way you're raising awareness on different issues. I have a little dream to hear you guys collab with Honest tea talk in one episode. Just a little dream. :^)
Somali hugs from Denmark. May allah grant you barakah and jannatul firdaus. jazakallah khair
