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!

SERIES: Chit Chats: Out of the Nest..Is It the Best?
Shownotes:
This month’s Chit Chat Series addresses relevant mommying issues starting with the transitions we experience as adult children move out for college. Or go away for summer camp. Grief is real.
So is the mental work WE have to do as moms to accept new roles and identities for ourselves as our kids enter the stage where they will spend the majority of their lives: adulthood. Join the spectators on the bench this episode to discuss important practical and emotional steps we can take with our kids to head out on the next part of this journey.
Tune in at 6PM EST and don’t forget we have a two-fer tonight and may just need some extra time to clean it up and post it. In any case, you should have a couple of listens on your commute before the weekend hits!
