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!

Updates on Porn in the Muslim Community
📢 Pornography is a silent but pervasive issue in American Muslim communities.. We’re breaking that silence with Alaa Shareef of The Family and You Institute. She brings data-driven insights on who’s watching, why consumption happens, who's at risk, and what we can do about it—because ignoring it isn’t an option.
đź“Š Who is consuming porn in our communities, and what does that mean for our relationships and faith?
⚠️ Who’s at risk? It’s not just who you think.
🛑 How can families, parents, and partners approach this conversation with love, faith, and practical solutions?
We’re here to talk about real, shame-free solutions for prevention, intervention, and healing. If you’ve ever wondered how to protect your children, support a loved one, or unlearn toxic cultural taboos around this issue, this episode is for you. Key pearl from Alaa on this episode is "compassion not condemnation."
🎧 Tune in now and join the conversation—because the first step to solving a problem is talking about it. Then share this episode with a loved one who may be experiencing porn in some capacity that's harming their imaan, someone who may not know how to get help otherwise.
