Don't miss this week's episode as Dr. Jasser looks at key elements that initial discussions on the public use of artificial intelligence (AI) should include. Zuhdi talks about why the field of bioethics interestingly has a lot to inform the new field of AI. Dr. Jasser also applauds a lawsuit filed against the Minneapolis City Council about their recent passage of an ordinance exemption giving mosques a pass on their noise ordinance 5 times a day 7 days a week. Dr. Jasser explains how that exemption only serves Islamists and not larger Muslim communities and certainly not religious freedom writ large in the U.S. Similarly, in New Jersey a schoolteacher is seeking vindication from Islamists, including an Olympic athlete, Ibtihaj Muhammad, who defamed her falsely claiming that she physically attacked a student wearing a hijab and was therefore a bigot?    Keywords: artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, Zuhdi Jasser, bioethics, Minneapolis, religious freedom, Muslim brotherhood, Islamist, supremacism, Constitution, CAIR, Ibtihaj Mohammed,  Learn more about your ad choices.

What should we say when a young child expresses or experiences racial bias? Maybe it's when a child makes a comment about somebody's skin color being ‘too dark' or how they don't want to play with a child of a different race. Or maybe it's when a child has experienced racial bullying or some other kind of racialized incident in the classroom. As adults, we may find ourselves reacting or freezing up in these moments. A healthier response is to prepare what early childhood education professor and scholar Dr. Rosemarie Allen calls “a treasure chest” of ready responses for disrupting racial bias in the moment.    Guest: Dr. Rosemarie Allen MPR Dr. Rosemarie Allen, guest on Early Risers podcast Dr. Rosemarie Allen is a national leader around racial equity in early childhood. She's an associate professor in the School of Education at Metropolitan State University of Denver and is founder, president and CEO of the Center for Equity and Excellence, a consulting firm specializing in racial equity and inclusion. Episode Resources: Dr. Allen has authored two children's books about Black hair, “Stylish and Straight,” and “Cute and Curly.” She wrote these books in part, to provide white teachers with a window into the daily routines and lived experiences of Black children in their classrooms. Here are some other book titles and authors Dr. Allen recommends: How to Be an Antiracist by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. Dr. Allen describes this book as a must- read for all educators. Waking up White by Debby Irving – a chronicle of a white educator's equity journey. The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family by Ibtihaj Muhammad – a children's book about a Muslim girl's pride in wearing her hijab and how she responds to bullies at school. Hair Love by Matthew A. Cherry – a children's book that celebrates the beauty of Black hair and a father's love for his daughter. Spare the Kids by Dr. Stacey Patton – a book for adults that unpacks the harm of using corporeal punishment as a means of disciplining Black children. Dr. Allen also recommends Dr. Patton's workshop on decolonizing Black parenting. Dr. Allen participated in a virtual panel discussion, “Teaching Anti-Racism: Making Sense of Race and Racism for Young Children” hosted by Minnesota Public Radio and Early Risers in June 2021. We also recommend Dr. Allen's 2016 TEDx talk “School suspensions are an adult behavior,” where she talks about the epidemic of school suspensions in pre-school settings and how children of color are disproportionately impacted.

The Proudest Blue by Ibtihaj Muhammad

This June marks 50 years since Title IX passed into law. While many advancements have been made, issues of inequity continue to persist in women's sports. Ahead of the anniversary NBC News and NBC Sports have launched In Their Court, a five-part podcast hosted by U.S. Olympic medalist, Ibtihaj Muhammad, that explores the evolution of Title IX through the eyes of one, pivotal sport: women's basketball. This series will feature the stories of the women who, over the past 50 years, fought for Title IX, advanced it, and are now using their voices to pay it forward on and off the court. We hope you enjoy this first episode, and for more visit In Their Court wherever you get your podcasts.

Ibtihaj Muhammad found out that she had qualified for the 2016 Olympics through a Google alert — not from her team, Team USA. Ibtihaj's story is one of resilience, triumph, and tenacity — despite adversity — to the top. Ibtihaj started fencing in high school and dedicated herself to becoming one of the world's best fencers, culminating in an Olympic medal. She is the first woman in Hijab to represent Team USA at the Olympics. Today, she is an author (read her memoir, Proud, or her children's book The Proudest Blue), a businesswoman (shop Louella for modest fashion), a Barbie (seriously, check this out), and an endless source of inspiration for many.

When it comes to dealing with adversity, Scout Bassett has had more than her fair share. Born in Nanjing, China, she was abandoned after losing her leg in a fire when she was around 18 months old. At age seven she was adopted by a family in the United States and had to adjust to a new language and new culture. Despite her disability, Bassett was always passionate about sports, and eventually learned to run using a prosthetic leg. Bassett tells her story to host Ibtihaj Muhammad about how she eventually made it to the Paralympic Games and in the process became an icon for perseverance and determination.

In this final episode of our three-part series on the carceral curriculum, we engage educators with what manifesting freedom dreaming might look like in classrooms and curriculum. Our guests this episode are Ebony and Zani, two early childhood educators who are spending this year designing a small Montessori preschool in Washington, D.C. by engaging community members, families, and students as they create their curriculum. They insist that abolitionist and liberatory education must be done in community and with accountability to our students, their families, and their communities. In our Resource Room, elementary administrator Leensa Fufa returns to the classroom and shares how she uses self-portraits to facilitate conversation around identity with young learners. Michigan poet Carlina Duan shares her poem “Alien Miss Confronts Her Past,” from her newest book of poetry Alien Miss (University of Wisconsin Press).

Nasceu em Nova Jérsia, em 1985, e foi incentivada pelos pais a praticar vários desportos até encontrar aquele que a deixasse mais confortável e que fizesse com que todos a julgassem apenas pelos seus atributos desportivos. Afro-americana e muçulmana, tornou-se a primeira atleta dos Estados Unidos da América a competir nos Jogos Olímpicos de hijab. Esta é a história de Ibtihaj Muhammad.

What did we discuss? How to persevere through life’s most challenging moments. Ibtihaj talked about her evolution as an athlete - why she picked the sport of fencing and what it was like competing and medalling at the 2016 Rio Olympics. We discussed the physical, mental and emotional adversity she’s had to overcome as a Black and Muslim and female athlete, and Ibtihaj talked about how her faith and her support network helped her through it all.

She shares her feelings in this beautiful and powerful story about the bond shared between siblings and being proud of yourself and your beliefs. and tells us here how she hopes it will help kids pursue their dreams...   THE PROUDEST BLUE   BEFORE Why do you think it is important to know the back story of the author? Find out more about Ibtihaj Muhammad and seek out some of her videos online. What associations does the colour blue have for you? Why do you think blue might be an important colour in the story? Find (or think of) different fabrics and materials – think about the uses for each one and find words to describe their feel and movement. Look at the thumbnail of the cover – who do you think is in the picture? What might the blue represent? Where do you think the characters are going/looking at? What does the word ‘proud' mean?. When was someone proud of you? When were you proud of someone else?   DURING Identify what a ‘hijab' is and who might wear one. Explore other ethnic garments like sari, poncho, kimono, dirndl, kameez, gákti etc Have you even bought a special set of clothes for special occasion? Why was this? ‘…there's no line between the water and the sky.' What do you think this means? During a part of the book the characters whisper. Why do you think this might be? How are the two girls being ‘strong'? What are the different ways of being ‘strong'?   AFTER Who do you share a special bond with? Discuss the value of supportive and loving relationships. Think about the idea of having an open mind and not having preconceptions. What ideas do we have about people (or even yourself) because of what we see on the outside or how a person talks? What possessions might you be able to own once you are older? How might you act differently once you own them? Do you have an older sibling or friend you look up to? Is there someone younger who looks up to you? Why might this be important as you are growing up?

A Gay Christian’s Pilgrimage in Search if God in America by Jeff Chu, Unclobber by Colby Martin, and One Coin Found (rec’d by Amy) Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays vs. Christians Debate by Justin Lee (rec’d by Jessica)   Questions 1. I’m trying to read books from all around the world, and I’ve found books from most areas. One area I’m having trouble with, though, is Eastern Europe. I don’t want to get bogged down reading books from a hundred or more years ago, and would prefer more modern works. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! -Erin 2. My nine year old daughter does not like to read most fiction or non-fiction books at all.  The only thing she enjoys are graphic novels; she has also recently gotten into anime.  Her favorites are Spirited Away (movie and graphic novels), and the Click series; she also enjoyed the first Sanity & Tallulah book.  Any recs you have to keep this flame going would be appreciated! -Lee 3. Hey guys! Hope you’re both doing well and staying safe during these crazy times. I apologize in advance for being so, so cheesy, but I’m desperate, sorry. With the pandemic STILL going on, I haven’t been able to see my girlfriend in ages and honestly I just need some reads to remind me of her, even if it does make me miss her even more. I’m not very versed in romance, so I have no idea where to start. I’m looking for w/w romances that are very sweet, without much angst or conflict, but with some steaminess. I’d particularly like for the love interest to be a shy/sweet/cinnamon role type of character.  -Celina 4. I realized that reading picture books to my four year old is the best part of my day every day now, and I’m leaning in to this. I’m maxing out my library checkouts and just using this time to read every book I ever wanted to to her. I’d like to recommend that everyone even non parents check out some picture books soon, as it’s often a satisfying mood changer for me. Please recommend lovely picture books for us listeners. -Brooke 5. Hi friends, As we continue to shelter-in-place my wanderlust is reaching peak levels… which is not aided by the end of a two-year relationship (with a fellow travel lover). I am feeling strongly about some sort of less-cliche version of an “Eat Pray Love” adventure to plan after quarantine as my 40th year approaches. I loved Nichol’s “No One Tells You This,” — would be interested in either a memoir or perhaps epic fiction with female protagonist. Epic, literary fiction set abroad that I’ve enjoyed include: Shantaram, A Fine Balance, House at the Edge of the Night, Beyond the Sky and the Earth: A Journey Into Bhutan….  Countries of interest include Italy (art history major here! but please no Cusk or Ferrante) or really, anywhere. Appreciate y’all! -Christine 6. Do you have any recommendations of fantasy novels that have older (30s-40s) female protagonists? Something like Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier. -RV 5. Hi, I recently discovered this podcast and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for the great work! Shoutout to your “How to Be Yourself” recommendation – I read it and thought it was so helpful. I recently finished A Little Life, and I am kind of at a loss for what to read next. I was especially moved by how well I felt the author followed the characters across their lives and the general theme of tracing prior events and their ramifications across time. Do you have recommendations of fiction or non-fiction books that similarly capture these themes? I’d prefer one where the “across time” is happening in more recent years (similar to A Little Life) rather than far back in history although open to anything  Thanks! -EV Books Discussed Border by Kapka Kassabova The Black Dog of Fate by Peter Balakian, rec’d by Aram Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant by Tony Cliff Little Witch Academia by Yoh Yoshinari, Keisuke Sato, Trigger The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite Things Hoped For by Chencia C.

Island Readers & Writers Director of School Programs Alison Johnson shares the picture books she recommended for this summer's booklist: "The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family" by Ibtihaj Muhammad with S.K. Ali, illustrated by Hatem Aly; "Truman" by Jean Reidy, illustrated by Lucy Ruth Cummins; graphic novel "Cub" by Cynthia Copeland and "Rise: From Caged Bird to Poet of the People, Maya Angelou" by Bethany Hegedus, illustrated by Tonya Engel. Alison also talks about how IRW programs are incorporating Visual Thinking Strategies and how to engage kids with picture books using three simple questions.

Washington Mystics player Natasha Cloud believes the time for silence is over following the death of George Floyd. Cloud says "I fear for my life simply because of the colour of my skin" and that she knows she will suffer racism at some point every day. Cloud adds "that fear is there for every single black American" and says one of her biggest fears is bringing a black child into the world. Cloud says if what happened to George Floyd doesn't "wake you up" it "says a lot about who you are as a human being". "What if I was George Floyd?" - This week more than a dozen of the NFL's top players - including MVP Patrick Mahomes - released a video telling the league that they won't be silenced. It came after the NFL was criticised for it's earlier statement following the death of George Floyd. We speak to former New York Giants player Jason Bell about how the NFL have reacted this week and the fall-out between Saints team-mates Drew Brees and Malcolm Jenkins over Brees comments about kneeling during the national anthem. Male body image in Sport - Luke Chadwick is a former Manchester United player and Toby Penty is England's Badminton number one. Luke talks about how damaging he found negative media attention around his appearance when he was a young player at United and Toby shares how alopecia has affected his confidence. Luke wants to promote the message that it's healthy to talk and they speak to each other about how their experiences have shaped them. "Walking out to bat in a test match, where you have nobody watching, I found it incredibly difficult" - Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen tells us it's "great" that cricket is coming back and admits they have to play behind closed doors but says he found it hard to perform in front of sparse crowds when he was a player. Pietersen is taking part in an online charity bike race on Sunday to raise money for the NHS. Four time Tour de France champion Chris Froome is the favourite and will start after everyone else. Pietersen jokes they can start at the same time and he'd still be confident of beating Froome. And this week's Sporting Witness goes back to the Rio Olympics of 2016, when fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad became the first Muslim-American to compete while wearing a hijab.

In 2016, the Muslim-American fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad made history by becoming the first US athlete to wear a hijab at the Olympic Games. After facing questions about her hijab and political views throughout her career, Ibtihaj was trailed by the global media throughout the Rio games. She overcame a shaky start to win a bronze medal in the team sabre event. Ibtihaj Muhammad has since written a popular autobiography and even inspired a hijab-wearing Barbie doll. She talks to Farhana Haider. PHOTO: Ibtihaj Muhammad (Getty Images)

Ibtihaj Muhammad made headlines in 2016 when she became the first woman to represent the U.S. at the Olympics wearing a hijab. Even though she’s no longer a competitive fencer, she’s still collecting wins left and right. She’s an athlete, author, and activist with her own Barbie. And, as Kimberly puts it, Ibtihaj is “an example for so many of us who see an imperfect world and want to do something about it.” The two of them sit down to have a conversation about putting faith before fear, inclusive fashion, and being the leader in your own life.

Ashley Graham sits down with the trailblazing Ibtihaj Muhammad! Ibtihaj is a world class fencer, 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist, and 5-time Senior World Champion. She was the first member of Team USA to compete in a hijab and has broken more barriers than we can count. In 2017, Barbie announced its SHERO line including a doll made in her likeness — fencing sword and all. To top it off, Ibtihaj is an accomplished author with books including her memoir Proud and the best-selling children’s book The Proudest Blue. Her clothing line Louella makes accessible fashion forward clothing with a modest twist.

In the Season 2 finale of Laughter Permitted, Olympic fencer and bronze medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad joins the podcast. Ibtihaj, who is the first Muslim American woman to wear a hijab while competing for the U.S. in the Olympics, discusses how she knew fencing could help her go to a top university, the challenges she faced on her road to the Olympics and how a smile can go a long way. Be sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode when Julie's mother-in-law, Ruthie, joins the show to close out Season 2.

It's not every day that I get to sit down and talk to an Olympic fencer. And Ibtihaj Muhammad is so much more than her sporting accolades that catapulted her into the spotlight. Being the first American athlete to compete in the Olympics wearing a hijab was simply the springboard to everything that she's done since – from writing books, to launching a clothing company and being an all-round superhero to a generation of girls.   After speaking about the importance of role models on a panel talk at the Nike Legacy Summit LA, we continued our conversation with this podcast episode. Full of honesty, eloquence, and sage advice, Ibtihaj talks about sport's power to unify – it's not about where you're from, how much money you have, your gender, your sexual orientation or your faith. It's about getting out there, having fun and trying to win.   Ibtihaj shares her own experiences of being made to feel like a square shape in a round space. She talks about how she abandoned the idea of acceptance and people-pleasing long ago, and instead learned to love herself and be her own biggest cheerleader to get to where she is today.   There are so many reasons why I love this conversation – enjoy listening. We're now off for our festive break, so mad amounts of love to you all. We'll be back in January 2020.   You can learn more about Ibtihaj, her projects and order her books here www.ibtihajmuhammad.com And you can follow Ibtihaj and her clothing company on Instagram @ibtihajmuhammad @louellashop   As always, you can follow us @gurlstalk and send any messages to www.gurlstalk.com Don't forget to subscribe to never miss an episode of the Gurls Talk podcast.

Host Luke Burbank and announcer Elena Passarello discuss the pop songs they think really “get to the point" of life; actor and comedian Michael Ian Black proves the low barrier into podcasting with his show Obscure; writer Melissa Febos calculates the personal risks of writing confessional memoirs; fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad explains how her childhood ambition carried her all the way to the Olympic podium; and soul-rock group Dirty Revival perform “Pipe Dreams.”

On this episode of Minority Retort, host Jason Lamb speaks with Olympic bronze medalist fencer, Ibtihaj Muhammad.

Ibtihaj Muhammad was the 2016 Olympic bronze medal winner in sabre fencing, becoming the first Muslim-American female to earn a medal and first Muslim-American athlete to wear a hijab while competing for the United States in the Olympics.She joined us to talk about her book Proud: My Fight for an Unlikely American Dream.

On this podcast we connect with Ida McRae who identifies as a Black Muslim woman and parent on what it means to be Black and Muslim. With the heightened violence against Muslim communities from the New Zealand attack in Christchurch that left over 50 dead and 50 more injured, and with the increased repressive policies such as the Muslim travel ban initiated by the Trump administration. Oftentimes we don't hear the experiences of Black Muslims, so we are honored to talk with Ida who is parenting a powerful Black muslim daughter. Ida is a social worker who strives to support the social and emotional wellbeing of her community and she does a lot of work to destigmatize mental health for communities of color and Muslim families. Some topics we discussed were: --With Black Muslims making up over a quarter of the Muslim community in the US we learn what it's like to live at the intersections of Black and Muslim identities and the double experiences of anti-blackness and islamophobia. --The role of Black faith and spiritually as a sustaining and healing practice with resources to learn about Black Muslim communities in the US such as Sapelo Square a destination for all things Black and Muslim in the United States. --The importance of representation and shifting the narrative to increase the visibility of Black Muslims --Powerful Black Muslim leaders such as Movita Johnson-Harrell the first Muslim woman elected state representative in Pennsylvania, Ilhan Omar the first Somali-American, first African-born American, and one of the first two Muslim American women to serve in the US Congress, and Ibtihaj Muhammad the first American to compete at the Games in a hijab and the first Muslim-American woman to win a medal --How Black parents can talk to their children about islamophobia and how to stand in solidarity with our Muslim sisters and brothers, including reading literature to our children that highlight African American Muslim culture: Bashirah and The Amazing Bean Pie: A celebration of African American Muslim Culture by Ameenah Muhammad-Diggins.

Ibtihaj Muhammad is an entrepreneur, activist, speaker and Olympic medalist in fencing. A 2016 Olympic bronze medalist, 5-time Senior World medalist and World Champion, in 2016, Ibtihaj became the first American woman to compete in the Olympics in hijab. Ibtihaj was a 3-time All American at Duke University where she graduated with a dual major in International Relations and African Studies. Ibtihaj also released her debut memoir in July 2018, PROUD: My Fight for an Unlikely American Dream. Ibtihaj is a sports ambassador with the U.S. Department of State’s Empowering Women and Girls through Sport Initiative, and works closely with organizations like Athletes for Impact and the Special Olympics. Named to Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential list, Ibtihaj is an important figure in a larger global discussion on equality and the importance of sport. Her voice continues to unite both the sports and non-sports world. 

Women of Color who are Muslims; like the newly elected Legislator from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Nike Pro Athlete Olympic Champion Fencer, are thriving in America and moving to the height of their professions. Overcoming the misconceptions about what it means to be Muslim and a Women of Color in America many are, crushing any perceptions that they are not worthy of the American dream. Guest, Miriam Karram, was born in America in Southern California to a father who is Palestinian and a mother who is Moroccan. Miriam moved at a young age to Jordan, Dubai and France with her family.  She is moved back to the United States when she was 17. It was when she returned to America that she experienced first-hand racism, a concept that she was not familiar with. It was often hard for her to live with the stares and whispers about her differences. With the encouragement of her mother she always felt that she could achieve her dreams. Conflicted with the realization that there were people that felt she was not someone who was worthy of the American Dream she like many other women of color press on. She discusses how people didn't feel safe around her especially due to perception of Muslims after 911 and how important equality and religious tolerance is what "justice for all" means. Miriam, feels that that as a strong woman of color and Muslim her voice is essential in the National and Global conversation.  “Our voices and being more visible in the American fabric will make a huge difference for me and all of my contemporaries bringing more richness to the American Dream.”  

From the very first moment Ibtihaj Muhammad put on a fencing uniform, she felt like a super hero. Since the fencing mask covered her hijab, she could stand out for her skill and ability rather than her appearance. Off the fencing strip, Ibtihaj had to deal with the many obstacles that accompany being an African American Muslim woman wearing hijab. Ibtihaj was often judged and singled out for being different, but it forced her to work even harder. Ultimately, her incredible will to win would lead her to defy stereotypes and become one of the greatest fencers in the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The First Female Muslim American to Medal at the Olympic Games Named one of TIME‘S 100 Most Influential People Growing up in New Jersey as the only African American Muslim at school, Ibtihaj Muhammad always had to find her own way. When she discovered fencing, a sport traditionally reserved for the wealthy, she had to defy expectations and make a place for herself in a sport she grew to love. From winning state championships to three-time All-America selections at Duke University, Ibtihaj was poised for success, but the fencing community wasn’t ready to welcome her with open arms just yet. As the only woman of color and the only religious minority on Team USA’s saber fencing squad, Ibtihaj had to chart her own path to success and Olympic glory. Proud is a moving coming-of-age story from one of the nation’s most influential athletes and illustrates how she rose above it all.

Ibtihaj Muhammad has had many firsts in her career in fencing. An African American Muslim woman, she was the first athlete from the U.S. to compete at the Olympics. Her team won bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics. But at the same time, the U.S. presidential campaign back home was revealing a strong anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim in the very country she was representing. Muhammad tells David McGuire about what drives her fighting spirit, and the place of Islam in her success. Photo: Fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad won a bronze medal at the Olympics for the US in 2016.

In August 2016, she became the first American woman to compete in the Olympics in hijab and is also the first Muslim woman to win an Olympic medal for the United States. In addition to fencing, Ibtihaj is an entrepreneur and author. In 2014, she launched her own clothing company, Louella.

She was on Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential list, and serves as an important figure in a larger global discussion on equality and the importance of sports.Today Ibtihaj is here to talk about the silver-lining of adversity, how to resist the current administration and how her faith has empowered her as a woman and an athlete.

From being the only African-American Muslim wearing a hijab in her hometown of Maplewood, New Jersey, to being the first veiled American woman to compete for the U.S. in the Olympics, Muhammad has always stood out, as much for her prodigious talent as for her courage and faith. Though she started fencing at the late age of thirteen, she quickly pushed beyond state and collegiate championships to become a five-time Senior World medalist and Olympic bronze medalist. But her athletic triumphs are only one part of Muhammad’s prodigious achievements. Her memoir is an unflinching account of how she turned around the bias and opposition she faced from the beginning, earning a spot on TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People In the World, serving as a sports ambassador for the U.S. State Department, and inspiring the first hijabi Barbie.Muhammad is in conversation with Brittany Packnett, Vice President of National Community Alliances for Teach for America, co-founder of the policy platform to end police violence Campaign Zero, video columnist for Mic News, and current Aspen Institute Education fellow.https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780316518963https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780316477000Learn more about your ad choices.

Tatiana Calderon admits that her career hasn’t always been easy. The Sauber test driver tells Sportshour she had to crash in order to the gain the respect from the male drivers. Calderon also talks about the controversial comments made by Carmen Jorda, the former development driver for Lotus and Renault. Jorda said women were more suited to competing in the new Formula E series, using electric vehicles than the high octane world of Formula One. The E-Car she believes presented less of a physical challenge. Last month a school in London tried to ban the wearing of the Hijab for pupils under eight. Staff at Stephen’s Primary School said it was to help younger girls move freely during Physical Education lessons. The idea was shelfed a week later, but what are the risks of having these conversations? And how important is it for young Muslim women to be able to wear them during sport? We also speak to role model Ibtihaj Muhammad and get her thoughts… Professional chef Dean Harper is on call to fuel some of Manchester’s Premier League footballers. He offers daily meal prep and date night specials. Whilst travelling to Delhi for a national hockey camp in 2006, one of India's hockey heros was accidentally shot by a member of the countries Railway Protection Force. It left Sandeep Singh with a punctured pancreas, a fractured rib, a chipped spine and kidney damage. After being told he wouldn't walk again, he not only went on to captain the Indian team, but he helped them win silver at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and he represented his country at the London Olympics in 2012. Now his life story is being told in a new film. Now we do it up to 20 times a minute, around 30,000 a day... so you would assume that we would be experts at it by now... but think again - according to Dr Belisa Vranich, breathing is something we could all improve on. The correct breathing by an athlete can give the 0.1% increase in performance; the possible difference between gold and silver.

Dr. Bedford Palmer and Dr. LaMisha Hill reflect on gentrification & homeownership in the Bay Area. They also discuss what it means to be an Ally, via two articles; the first by W. Kamau Bell and the next by Eric Adelson.
