We're about halfway through Ramadan — the Muslim holy month marked by charity, spiritual reflection, and daily fasting. With some 350,000 Muslims estimated to call Chicago and Illinois home, we visited the Muslim Community Center in Old Irving Park for a community iftar. Iftar refers to the evening meal when fasts are broken each day. Last year, host Jacoby Cochran talked with lifelong member Amjad Quadri about what the mosque is serving up and how Ramadan is about more than fasting. Support MCC's Annual Ramadan Project to help provide Iftar nightly to over 30 newly arrived families.  Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

Chicago's first school board elections take place this November. But now that we have a district map, election plan, and potential candidates are gathering signatures, one big question remains: Will school board members eventually be paid for their service? Currently, state law prohibits paying board members, but host Jacoby Cochran asks professor Arionne Nettles and Tribune's Gregory Royal Pratt if Illinois should reconsider this in order to create a more diverse and inclusive candidate pool. Plus, we are looking ahead at NASCAR's July street race, Mayor Johnson's plan to convert downtown offices into apartments, initiatives to make Ramadan more eco-friendly, and two new Chicago books to read this spring!

In Episode 21, Sara Bawany gives us a crash course on all things mental health. Scheduling an appointment with a therapist isn't on the top of every Muslim's to-do list due to the intimidation and misconceptions that surround therapy, however, Sara explains why paying attention to our mental health is just as important as our physical health. We learn about what traits to look for while choosing a therapist, instances in the Quran that highlight the importance of mental health and how to de-stigmatize therapy in our culture. We also discuss certain moments in the Prophet's (pbuh) life where mental health was a priority and reasons why we should humanize the feelings he had shared with those around him. Sara is a clinical social worker, a writer and published poet. She currently works at the Muslim Community Center for Human Services in Fort Worth, where she provides free mental health counseling and education. Sara is also on the board of FACE, an organization that tackles spiritual abuse in the Muslim community. She is also the author of her debut poetry and prose book titled, "(w)holehearted".Enjoy and remember to follow us on Instagram: @unsweetenedandunfilteredFollow our guest on Instagram: Sara.BawanyPurchase her book (w)holehearted: here Resources: Psychology TodayMuslim Mental Health Institute Seema Mental Health Muslim Wellness FoundationBlack Muslim Psychology Conference

On Friday, March 15, 2019, a 28-year-old white supremacist allegedly shot and killed 50 Muslim worshipers in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Around the world, media reports chronicled the utter disbelief of New Zealanders who once thought that an act of terror and hatred like that could never touch their peaceful islands. On Sunday, hundreds of Muslims, Christians, Jews, their faith leaders, and Rockford residents gathered at Muslim Community Center & Mosque in Rockford, Illinois, for a prayer vigil expressing support for all victims of terrorism and hate crimes.
