- Education
This is a throwback episode recorded about a year ago but was not released until now. Our guest today is not specifically queer but we talk a lot about what it's like to be part of a community that is often misunderstood.

What's the Feeling (WTF) focuses on teenage mental health. Hosts Lindsay & Asra have a combined 22 years of youth development and mental health experience. Each week, they will discuss a specific case, and discuss best practices for the teen and the teen team (support network).
I’m happy to be interviewing a client of mine, Asra, a Muslim-American woman living here in the San Francisco Bay Area (California). We’ll be talking about her life journey and her story. I want to highlight more stories of people of color, especially women of color, to share their experiences. We answer the following questions: - How do you identify in terms of your cultural and ethnic background? - Could you share a little about yourself, your hobbies, and your passions? - How did you started identifying as a feminist and why? - What’s been your experience growing up in the United States as a Muslim-American woman? How was it attending school and how did the education system treat you? - What are some challenges you’ve faced being a Muslim-American woman of color? - To wrap up, do you have any last thoughts you want to share? Thanks again Asra for sharing your Indian-American story here!
