    Tearing Down Tribes: Aymann Ismail on Love, Religion, and Legacy

    Today, I'm thrilled to reconnect with Aymann Ismail, award-winning journalist and the visionary behind the PBS documentary American Muslims: A History Revealed. Beyond the groundbreaking stories from the series, our conversation takes a deeply personal turn. Aymann opens up about his new book, 'Becoming Baba,' which explores his journey of self-discovery, his experiences with dating, and how they've shaped his perspectives on love and identity. We also discuss the values he hopes to instill in his children, weaving together reflections on faith, culture, and what it means to leave a meaningful legacy. We revisit stories from the documentary, including the extraordinary tale of Yarrow Mamout, a Muslim enslaved in the 1700s who became a respected figure in Georgetown. Yarrow's story powerfully reminds us of Islam's long history in America and the contributions of Black Muslims to our shared heritage. Exciting News!! Aymann Ismail's new book, Becoming Baba, is now available for pre-sale! Reserve your copy here.
