Podcast appearances and mentions of amani al khatahtbeh

In this episode, Jess speaks publicly for the first time in a decade about a subject near and dear to her heart: body positivity in the context of weight loss. This episode tackles the question: “Can you love your body while still desiring to lose weight?”  Jess and her guest for this episode, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, have both experienced 100+ lb weight loss in their life. They know firsthand what it's like to grapple with that question. They both share candidly about what life is like in a larger body and what happened when that weight started to drop (the answer may surprise you). Amani's not only a voice for body inclusivity for women around the world but at 25 years of age she's also a “media titan” (according to the New York Times) and the founder and creator of muslimgirl.com.  Amani started Muslim Girl as a blog when she was still in high school. After she couldn't find any publications that spoke to her experience as a Muslim girl growing up in America, she decided to make her own. The blog has since taken off and become the first Muslim company on the Forbes 30 under 30 list, making Amani the first veiled woman to be listed. Amani's background is important because her experience growing up as a Muslim woman in America affected her weight, just as her weight affected her experience as a Muslim woman. This is an intersectional conversation that embraces the nuance inherent to the question of the episode. There's so much more to health than weight, there's so much more to weight than the way you look, and there's so much more to this conversation that you'll just have to hear for yourself!   You can follow Amani @Amani on most platforms, and @xoamani on Twitter.

Corporations Stay Silent on Abortion  Dating sites Match and Bumble—both based in Texas—are among the few companies to speak out against the law. Shar Dubey, the CEO of Match Group, told employees in a memo quote “The company generally does not take political stands unless it is relevant to our business. But in this instance, I personally, as a woman in Texas, could not keep silent.” The rideshare apps Lyft and Uber have also spoken out, in part because their drivers are among those that can be sued under the new Texas law.

Growing up in New Jersey Amani Al-Khatahtbeh was a pretty normal kid. Then 9/11 happened and life changed forever. She spent her teenage years navigating growing racism and Islamophobia in America, and at the age of 17 she founded a blog called Muslim Girl. The site gave young Muslim women a platform to discuss all of the things – periods to politics. And over the years, it transformed from a part time passion project to a full time social movement, logging millions of hits every year. This episode is hosted by Marc Fennell.

Creating a much needed space for Muslim women online, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh's MuslimGirl rose from humble beginnings on Livejournal to becoming the number one Muslim women’s blog in the United States. Now a regular contributor to media outlets CNN, Al Jazeera, and the BBC, Amani has been featured in The New York Times and The Guardian, and made Forbes' '30 Under 30' list. Chaired by Yassmin Abdel-Magied.
