As Muslim women there aren't many spaces to speak about the struggles we face. My goal is to make a safe community for us to discuss modern issues we encounter, and ensure we can follow our dreams while also valuing our Muslim identity. I hope you find episodes that speak to you. --Asma, your host 3 Follow us on instagram @muslimah.podcast , and contact us at muslimahpodcast@gmail.com.

    Ep. 56: Undoing Muslim Girl Brainrot

    My sister Sara and I reflect on Muslim girl influencer culture, all the good and bad! Social media has expanded our ability to showcase who we are as Muslim women, but it has also caused a “brain rot”, causing us to lose parts of our individuality and uniqueness as Muslim women. We reflect on some personal examples of this “Muslim girl brain rot” and how we can actively try not to fall for the over-glamorization of clean girl vibes and the soft girl aesthetic, and embrace our own tastes and interests without feeling pressure to conform. In addition to social media, we should be enriching our lives and hearts with hobbies and in person sisterhood. Constantly scrolling on a perfect looking feed and comparing ourselves to others can be harmful for our mental health and our spirituality! Sara and I also chat about the recent TikTok ban, the romanticization of marriage on Muslim social media, preparing for Ramadan, and how to actively not compare ourselves to others while we are on social media. This is a very relevant chat, and Sara and I call ourselves out many times for being chronically online :)
