The Digital Sisterhood TDS: After the show

- Self-Improvement

Welcome, Friends. Storytelling has the power to not only create connections but provide universal truths about ourselves and the world. When listening to this podcast, I ask that you honor these stories and the rawness, transparency, and vulnerability that they invoke. Invite them with an open heart and you will see that all stories share a universal message. I pray that each anecdote leaves you inspired to share as the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is also charity to utter a good word.” But more importantly, I pray that you allow yourself to find comfort in the good, wisdom in the hardship, and the courage to trust Allah.

Bending The Knee
Once again in TDS tradition, Cadar opens the season with another personal story. This time it’s a continuation of the first debut episode on TDS called “The WallFlower.'' The story takes place after she’s found a new sense of direction and faith, except now all that she believes in is put to the test. In her first year of university, Cadar learns from experience the entrenched and upheld islamophobic realities that plagues western academia. Until one day everything comes to a head, and, Cadar’s had to make choice for the sake of her academic career & future to either bend the knee or stand ten toes down in what she believes in.

If I Must Die
In the heart-wrenching backdrop of Gaza's tumultuous reality, "If I must die" unveils a deeply moving story that explores the profound impact of loss on one family's journey through grief, resilience, and the enduring power of love. At the centre of the story is Shayma, a loving daughter and sister, whose life is abruptly shattered by the indiscriminate violence that has become an all-too-familiar presence in her homeland.
This episode was recorded on the 10th of January.
Please donate to Shayma’s GoFundMe, to help her and her family evacuate from Gaza https://t.co/1ckKD2lj1G
