    The Whole Muslim with The Ad'iyah Collective: Muslim Abortion Care

    Send me a Text Message! First episode of 2025 and it is a doozy! For this The Whole Muslim, I am featuring the Ad'iyah Collective, an organization that was created so that Muslim Women can have a safe, inclusive space during their pregnancy-ending journey. The subject of abortion has been in the news A LOT, especially because so many politicians are working so hard to take away our rights to bodily autonomy. I talk to the founder of the Ad'iyah Collective, AZ (name withheld for privacy), and ...

    Solo Episode: 2025 and Beyond!

    Send me a Text Message! Another year down and it has been a doozy! Ongoing genocides and the re-election of the Cheeto and so much more! We collectively have to do better. The time for words and lessons is past and now we got to dedicate ourselves to action. Action that will bring about the change that is needed to fix this mess of a world we have created. Clean it up, fix it up and leave it a livable planet for our kids. I'm sort of leaning towards that direction too. I seem to be at some ...

    Special Episode: It's a Live! With Dr. Uzma Jafri

    Send me a Text Message! It's no secret, when times get tough and we need answers, you gotta turn to the smart people! Well that's what I did, because I was getting also experiencing post-election stress, so I turned to one of the smartest people I knew, Dr. Uzma Jafri, producer and host of the "Mommying While Muslim" podcast. And we sat down and discussed in an Instagram Live about what comes next for the future of America? What should the people who don't approve of the cheeto and all his s...

    Solo Episode: America did NOT Pass the Vibe-Check!

    Send me a Text Message! The presidential elections are now over and... the cheeto is back. I wish I could be anymore respectful about this but I can't bring myself to pretend. Cheeto's last presidential reign was a complete joke and this time he's got a whole bunch of jokers that he wants to push into the spotlight with him. As disastrous as that is, what I find even more concerning is the terrible attitudes that some democratic voters have adopted where they are now pointing fingers at min...

    Gift of the Gab with Maureen Johnson: The Alternative to News

    Send me a Text Message! Strange are the times when news outlets are constantly under scrutiny for how they are (or are not!) covering the news. I sit down with content creator, Maureen Johnson, a.ka. '@realgodivagodess', and we talk about how questioning news narratives got her and other content creators into hot water with big news media outlets. And that ignited her fire to create news content on social media, as an alternative to what is out there in the mainstream. And she has been a t...

    Solo Episode: Four Years and A Genocide Ago

    Send me a Text Message! Humanity is literally stuck in the WORST movie remake of "Groundhog Day", where we keep doing the same things and in this version things start to get worse! I started my podcast in 2020, which was also a presidential election year, and here we are again four years later, but this time add the active genocide to the mix... I know I sound negative, but the truth is the truth. But that doesn't mean that nothing can be done. This episode explores what we are up against a...

    Gift of the Gab with Marlon Duran: Where's The Vote?!

Tune in to this episode on the importance of exercising your right of self-determination, even when everything around us seems like one huge...
