Ethnically Confused Melak Khaleel

- Comedy
Hello! Coming from an ethnically, religiously, geographically, and culturally diverse background, I've seen and learned a lot; still am. And so will you if you want to learn more!
I will have conversations with myself in my kitchen and sometimes, friends and family as well about a range of topics. Let's have uncomfortable, necessary conversations to be better, and learn from one another.

Are hardcore Muslims/Christians 'too much'?
we’re back again with another banger! Anthony and I reminisce on the good old days of getting our first phones, thoughts about veganism, China’s new laws about restricting video gaming hours for students, women’s (and anyone’s) choice to reproduce, the Taliban and extreme religious beliefs. Tune in for some chats and gigs. Enjoy!

Getting vaxxed, SA lockdown, Palestine, Britany and more!
Making a comeback after being gone for a while due to ADHD being shifted to other interests. A discussion with my inner second personality about a few topics that have been brewing in my mind.

Ramadan Special & Gratefulness
Ramadan Kareem to all. Insha'Allah all of our prayer, fasting, and work is accepted. The month has come and gone by so quickly, but it important to be thankful for what we have and this is what my rant is about today. Nothing is too big and no problem is too impossible if we have the right attitude. Let me know what else would you like to listen to in the future. Talk soon, much love.

France's Hijab Ban & Feminism ft. Anthony
In this new episode, I have Anthony with me to discuss the current issue of the French Government attempting to ban the Hijab, worn by Muslim women, in an attempt to "save them". Anthony's presence is important here because as a Catholic man, I wanted to see whether or not he would understand why this issue could also possibly affect him and his female Muslim friends in the future. We also dive into politics and social movements, especially feminism, and how picky the movement is when it comes to Muslim women and their issues. No matter what our differences are, we eventually almost always see eye-to-eye. Message either of us with any feedback, we'd love to hear it all! Thank you!

Media circus vs sexual assault
A lot has happened since the last time I've covered this topic. I've had more conversations, read more articles, and listened to more podcasts. The conversation does not stop here, if anything, it needs to be spoken about even more. I was shocked by the way people still think of women in 2021 and the way victims of sexual assaults are seen. I cover a bit about the response on social media along with the idea of 'cancel culture' which is affecting celebrities on the internet as well.
