Mommying While Muslim
Mommying While Muslim is a one of a kind podcast where American Muslim moms share their experiences to raise second generation kids. Having experienced both pre and post 9/11 America, they're acutely aware of the unique challenges their families face on top of the regular messes that all moms share. Mommying While Muslim is a space to take back their stories, and tell those no one will air on the news or portray fully or fairly in the media. Host Uzma Jafri is mom first, careerwoman second, and global citizen at heart. She meets taboo topics head on because she wasn't allowed to do it growing up, not at home or at school and work. Her aim is to better her immediate household, community, and her momsisterhood the world over by telling the truths sometimes people don't want to face or to hear. Not everyone has these privileges, and she is eager to learn as well as share her own experiences. Always looking to give back, MWM finds women and families who need a mic because no one needs a voice; they just need an opportunity to speak. Besides tough social issues, MWM tackles political ones because when laws affect kids, we're coming for them as well as the ones who make them! There's no lane that doesn't get taken here. Along the way, MWM recruits momallies for Muslim Americans who have been inordinately targeted for the last 20 years. True moms know that ALL our children deserve to be safe, loved, and happy, and we bust every yellow brick on the Islamaphobic road to make sure they all are. If you like good trouble, this one's for you!

Pregnancy and Preventive Women's Health
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Hodon joins us today to talk about how to maintain pregnancy health during a pandemic when most of us are barraged with conflicting medical advice and everyone and their president wants to be the doctor giving it.
While providing her personal story of losses after surviving COVID TWICE this year and losing her dad unexpectedly (to Him we belong and to Him we return), Dr. Hodon emphasizes that what worked for her is not medical advice to listeners; it’s her experience on how she recovered and continues to fight back against this disease and its after-effects. Bottom line: COVID isn’t without consequence so stop saying that. We still don’t know the extent to which it can harm us.
This episode is a quickfire of the special considerations COVID pregnancies require and guess what: it involves Zoom, too! We also go through the various decades of women’s lives to emphasize which preventive steps they need to maintain good health for life. Gardasil, PAP smears, mammograms, and vaccines are all here!
