College
I found this podcast while researching identity politics. I was low-key desperate for conversations about concepts that I felt I understood, but was having a hard time engaging with through scholarly articles. Then I listened to the episode about college and was like, “THIS IS EVERYTHING💖!” and was totally hooked! So grateful to these women for helping me get through college
Thanks for being amazing
I recently found this podcast and instantly fell in love with it. As a Black Muslim woman from the east coast(Boston) I have found it hard to find others that I can fully relate to and that has been a little isolating. I would always have to explain myself to other Muslims(mostly arabs)that I really was raised Muslim or to some in the black community that not only am I actually black but I’m not in the nation either(not that it would be a bad thing if I was). You ladies make me feel right at home and focus on what truly matters. I hope to get through the many episodes I missed just because I know it will be well worth my time.
