Introduction This episode is focused on showcase diversity instead of simply preaching it. If years of colonial rule conditioned us to view fair-skinned individuals as superior, then we must implement the same methods leaders used to gain official independence to decolonize our mindset and standards of beauty. We are discussing 4 main topics today from why black lives matter significantly to understanding how Muslim black people have been impacted all their lives. We discuss LQBTQ+ and how colourism is showing up along with racism in the South Asian community. As a society, we need to demand to bring people of all colour, shapes and sizes into mainstream media that allows people to create their own authentic ideals. Listen out for: Tips on how mothers can enlighten their children on actively being anti-racist Black Lives Matter movement 9/11 changed lives and racism was on the rise Pride - LTBTQ+ rights Black Muslims - south Asian discriminating against black Muslims Black lives matter VS All lives matter - what’s the difference?

She also brings on regular Muslim guests to her own podcast show who are contributing to society in multiple ways. Her goal is to break down barriers and make sure listeners learn that on the inside, we are all the same. Farheen also hosts a weekly show at a local Radio station where she is based in Dallas, Texas. We are talking with a mother who describes herself as a “Noise-Maker” Farheen has a unique and direct way to express how millennial Muslims want to show up as well as practising the core values of the religion.
