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!

Ketogenic Lifestyle for Muslims
FitMuslimah Mubarakah Ibrahim tells us about what keto is today, and what it is NOT. Specifically, how is a ketogenic lifestyle (y’all know we don’t like to say “diet” on the podcast!) conducive to fasting in Ramadan in particular? Ketosis is our friend when it comes to fulfilling our worship goals during this holy month. There’s a reason FitMuslimah calls Ramadan “Shahr al Ketosis” (month of ketosis)!
Trace traditional diets of colonized people and learn the origins of our foods, and how those were forced to change to the detriment of global health. Find out FitMuslimah’s recommendations on the best food choices for our bodies to prevent metabolic syndrome and diseases associated with it, which is easier than we think. The key is “insulin spikes.” Tune in at 6pm EST to learn how to choose wisely.
