#MMCommunity Exchange: What is Federalism and Why Should Pakistanis Care?

Sounds like a big word, but what's its value outside of a poli-sci textbook? Ayesha Burney breaks it down for the 'average' Pakistani in our latest podcast. Tune in to understand what federalism means, in relation to the unitary identity forced upon Pakistan's diverse population, and the role it plays in reclaiming that diversity of people, culture and thought. In addition to being our MM Insta Wiz, Ayesha is a political science researcher with an MSc in the subject from the London School of Economics.

We'd love to schedule an interview with you as a part of our #MMCommunityReacts series and hear what you have to say! About Modern Mazameen: Have you ever felt like there’s a lack of content and platforms that really speak to our values and mindsets as young Pakistanis? We did once. But when we started scratching the surface, it became clear that there was a lot out there – we just weren’t aware of it. Engaging with these conversations and communities has been incredibly helpful for us to develop our own perspectives and deepen our understanding of ‘mazameen’ (topics) that matter to us. Now, we want to bring them closer to others like us through this platform. We’re just getting started by launching our newsletter, along with our website and social media channels!

#MMCommunity Exchange: Processing the Collective Trauma of Harassment

With the Meesha Shafi harassment case against Ali Zafar back in the headlines this January, we wanted to take a moment to set aside the ‘who, what, why and when’ of the story and just reflect: How does this make us all feel? Why is this saga so difficult to talk about? Is there something about the Pakistani context that makes the situation especially confusing and triggering? Listen in and join the conversation.

#MMCommunity Exchange: What Defines the Pakistani Millennial?

Every other week, we'll invite an #MMCommunity Member to discuss with us a topic related to the Pakistani identity. In this episode, we're joined by Yamna Khan - an engineer by education, she works with tech startups in the innovation space. She is also an ex-startup founder and led the first FinTech accelerator in KSA. Along with Yamna, we'll be exploring what it means to be a Pakistani millennial, how we personally see that definition apply to us, and how it's shaped our experiences with the wider community, within and outside Pakistan.

#MMPodcast Ep. 2: Friendships and Intentional Communities

Sounds simple, but is it really? In this podcast, we talk about what friendships mean to us and how we approach developing meaningful relationships given what we've learnt from culture, setbacks and the journey called life. We also consider the importance of alternative communities and how they can be crucial support systems for us.
