Podcast appearances and mentions of amani haydar

We know we say this about every episode of Booksmart...but this is a really special episode.This week, social worker and former Wayside Aboriginal Cultural Centre Manager Cassandra Ashcroft interviews Amani Haydar about her incredible book, The Mother Wound.  Amani Haydar suffered the unimaginable when she lost her mother in a brutal act of domestic violence perpetrated by her father. Five months pregnant at the time, her own perception of how she wanted to mother (and how she had been mothered) was shaped by this devastating murder.After her mother's death, Amani began reassessing everything she knew of her parents' relationship. They had been unhappy for so long - should she have known that it would end like this? A lawyer by profession, she also saw the holes in the justice system for addressing and combating emotional abuse and coercive control.In this moving discussion, Cassandra and Amani talk about their own lived experience, the power of female resilience, and the role of motherhood in the home and in the world. This is truly a conversation not to be missed.

We were joined by author Michael Mohammed Ahmad, founding director of the Sweatshop Literary Movement, to talk about his latest novel 'The Other Half Of You', reframing your relationships, and why Western Sydney sees so little crime fiction. This extended discussion goes into deeper detail on what fictions about Western Sydney we still see in the press, the growing literary scene, including the successes of Sweatshop, and more about this year's panel at BAD: Sydney Crime Writers Festival, 'Myths and Realities: "Middle Eastern Crime" in Western Sydney', where he spoke with Randa Abdel-Fattah, Amani Haydar & Sarah Ayoub.

We discuss chapters 8-14 of the eleventh Albert Campion novel by Margery Allingham. While committing some form of espionage he's probably supposed to know about, Albert Campion is shown the grand scale of the Bridge Institute's power, from dozens of lorries gathered in a cave, to powerful remote detonators that could change the face of warfare. The investigation is upended when his budding ally Superintendent Hutch is told Campion matches the description of a man who fled from a city hospital the day before. Unable to prove it wasn't him, Campion goes on the run, trying to solve what it is he even needs to solve. We're also joined by author Michael Mohammed Ahmad, founding director of the Sweatshop Literary Movement, to talk about his latest novel 'The Other Half Of You', reframing your relationships, and why Western Sydney sees so little crime fiction.

Amani was pregnant with her first baby, in 2015, when a cousin called her. Her cousin was panicking and through a jumble of mixed up sentences, told Amani to go to the hospital.

Both Amani and her sister Nour, have joined us for this episode of There’s No Place Like Home.

169. Amani Haydar on Agony, Anger and Art.

Chaired by Lur Alghurabi. The first time Amani's father hit her mother, his wife of twenty-eight years, was the day he killed her. Amani brings a lawyer's mind and a daughter's heart to her devastating memoir, The Mother Wound, a book full of raging anger and the deepest of sorrow. In it, she seeks to come to terms with loss and grief, recounting her painful journey through the justice system and her quest for truth, accountability and, ultimately, healing and hope. It is a poetic, moving and powerfully inspiring debut.

“My name is Roia Atmar, and—in my after—I made it a mission that other women find proof of their own. Proof that there is no uncomplicated route, that fear and shame lives in the most dubious of places, even still. That abuse does not end with the last lighting of a match, with the last foul insult, with the last bellow of a man—or ten—as they stand on the dusty steps of a court, the same court where women wanting nothing more than justice stand, holding space for any semblance of pride they can muster. Women that fight for their very own afters.”In the sixth and final episode, My Name is Roia Atmar, she battles through the family court system as she is confronted not only by her abuser, but by the loud and obnoxious presence of “Men's Rights Activists”. As she fights to keep herself and her children safe, Roia reflects on the ongoing nature of healing, survival and hope.Co-producers: Madison Griffiths and Beth Atkinson-QuintonLead Storyteller: Roia AtmarSensitivity Editor: Shakira HusseinAssistant Producer: Danae GibsonSound Designer and Engineer: Jon TjhiaGuest in this episode: Samantha Jeffries, Amani Haydar and Ashlee DonohueFor episode transcripts and more information visit our website and stay in touch across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @broadwavepods, and @tenderpodcast on Twitter.Tender season two is Broadwave podcast supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, and proudly sponsored by the Victorian Women's Trust.

Amani Haydar was five months pregnant and excitedly preparing to become a mother for the first time. But on an ordinary day, Amani's life changed to a degree she never thought possible. She answered a phone call that sliced everything she thought she knew about her parents, about relationships, about marriage, about love and about her own future - into two very different parts: before and after. Amani has since written a book about her experience called The Mother Wound, and she joins Mia now to share her powerful story.

Jamila Rizvi is back! We have missed her, and from this week Jamila is back leading our discussion of all things books. Chapter 1: As they so often do, Jamila and Astrid consider the harder things in life. This week, the theme is darkness, and they reflect on what they like to read and when. Chapter 2: Jamila introduces Jaivet Ealom's 2021 memoir, 'Escape from Manus'. Jaivet is the only person known to have escaped from Manus Island, and his life experience is truly extraordinary. Despite the darkness, this is a hopeful story. Jaivet now resides in Canada, where he is a spokesperson for the Rohingya community. Chapter 3: Astrid turns to crime fiction and considers 'I Shot the Devil' by Ruth McIver. Whilst this is very much crime fiction, it is also so much more - it is a nuanced exploration of female trauma, grief and survival. Recommendations: Astrid recommends Rachel Cusk's 'Second Place', which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2021. Jamila returns to Amani Haydar's one-of-a-kind memoir, 'The Mother Wound'.

‘The first person you encounter as a human being is generally your mother. That's the first source of knowing that you have. How valuable is that? And how painful is it to lose that in circumstances outside of your control?' In this Broadly Speaking podcast, Amani Haydar, Alice Pung and host Susan Carland discuss the extraordinary resilience mothers and children demonstrate in the face of trauma. In her memoir The Mother Wound, artist, lawyer and advocate Amani Haydar tells the heartbreaking story of her mother's death through a brutal act of violence perpetrated by her father. Award-winning writer Alice Pung's latest novel, One Hundred Days, examines the faultlines of love and control in a complex mother-daughter relationship. Both women are mothers themselves and write with nuance and compassion about the intersections and complexities of culture, class and family. What happens when trauma intersects with motherhood – and how do mothers and children find the strength to endure, survive and thrive?

In 2015, Amani Haydar suffered the unimaginable when she lost her mother in a brutal act of domestic violence perpetrated by her father (CW: Domestic violence)

Amani Haydar lost her mother in a brutal act of violence, perpetrated by her father, in March of 2015.   She was five months pregnant with her first baby at the time. The horror of that experience shaped Amani's own perception of how she wanted to mother, and how she had been mothered.   Amani spent much of the two years between her mother's death and her father's trial, in a daze. She said she hated her father for what he'd stolen from her and that her pain might have become unbearable were it not for her art.   Jamila Rizvi discusses her career change from a commercial litigator to artist and author, generational trauma and the events that turned Amani's world upside down.    THE WEEKEND LIST with Tait McGregor: Listen: If This Isn't Nice, I Don't Know What Is by Still Woozy Watch: Drag Race España (Stan) Watch:The Act (Binge) Do:Melbourne Writers Festival (3 – 12 September) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2015, Amani Haydar suffered the unimaginable when she lost her mother in a brutal act of domestic violence perpetrated by her father (CW: Domestic violence)

Becoming a mother is supposed to be a joyous time. But when Amani was 5 months pregnant with her first child, she was plunged into grief when her father murdered her mother in a brutal act of domestic violence. As she tried to piece her life back together, Amani began pulling at the threads of her story, searching for answers. How had this happened? Where was the justice? Where did her maternal grandmother’s death, in a fatal airstrike in Lebanon only a decade prior, fit into the story? And most importantly, if trauma could be inherited, then why not joy, and hope? Amani’s book The Mother Wound examines all of this and more, and our conversation today will stay with you long after the episode ends.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amani Haydar is a lawyer, artist, advocate and mother who has just released her first book, The Mother Wound: detailing the aftermath of the murder of her mother by her husband, Amani's father in 2015.

Editor's Note: This conversation includes discussion of family violence. 'We've got an ongoing conversation happening about violence against women in Australia, and I felt that it was important to contribute what I had learnt from my perspective as a Muslim woman, as an Arab woman, as a daughter of someone who was murdered, and as someone who had a legal background, to that conversation.' Each month we celebrate an Australian debut release of fiction or non-fiction in the Kill Your Darlings First Book Club. For July that debut is The Mother Wound by Amani Haydar, out now from Pan Macmillan. Amani suffered the unimaginable when she lost her mother in a brutal act of domestic violence perpetrated by her father. Five months pregnant at the time, her own perception of how she wanted to mother (and how she had been mothered) was shaped by this devastating murder. Writing with grace and beauty, Amani has drawn from this a story of female resilience and the role of motherhood in the home and in the world. In The Mother Wound, she uses her own strength to help other survivors find their voices. First Book Club host Ellen Cregan spoke with Amani about the book and the experience of writing it. Our theme song is Broke for Free's ‘Something Elated'. Sound production by Lloyd Pratt. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) offers confidential information, counselling and support services and is open 24 hours to support people impacted by sexual assault, domestic or family violence and abuse.
