They talk about the perception of sex in Muslim communities, looking at the existing taboo and the harm it perpetuates, and where it originated. Habeeb and Dr Wafaa both stress the importance of sex education, how it's lacking, and how important it is to address it. They highlight some of the things that we, as a community, are doing wrong, and how these contribute to a detrimental cycle that only hurts us in the long run. The conversation touches on Habeeb's book 'A Taste of Honey', the perceived separation between sensuality and spirituality, and the paramountcy of communication,  opening the door on this all-too-important topic and taking those first steps towards shedding the taboo. Dr Wafaa is a gynaecologist, counsellor and therapist. She is an expert in psychosexual & relationship therapy, whilst also being a GMC licensed medical doctor with extensive clinical experience in sexual medicine. Habeeb Akande is an alumnus of Al Azhar University in Cairo. He is a British-born writer, sex educator and historian of Nigerian descent.

She speaks on institutionalised Islamophobia and its effects, how it trickles down into the daily norm, the normalised toxicity of politics, the harmful rhetoric that is more and more widespread, and how being visibly Muslim and wearing the niqab plays into her political and personal identity. Should she be successful, she would be the first niqabi member of a European parliament, and in this conversation she shares why this is long overdue.

Our guests discuss this topic in the context of the BLM movement, touching on what it means to celebrate our identity and why it’s important to do so. The conversation also addresses the All Lives Matter (ALM) movement, internalised prejudice, and just the general discomfort that can come from tackling these issues head-on.
