***TRIGGER WARNING*** This episode discusses sexual assaultIn this episode, I talk to content creator and a recent convert to Islam, Clarke Jones.We trace her tumultuous Faith journey, and how she came to Islam, a few short weeks after October 7th, and the beginning of the relentless Israeli aggression against Palestinians. How that inspired her to be a content creators, and raise awarenessabout the atrocities in Palestine. And how her novel "makeup tutorials" are a clever workaround to the slew ofsocial media bans around the subject.You can also view this episode on my YouTube Channel here: https://youtu.be/g0ZSmmWCn2kFind Clarke's blog and social media handles below:Blog: https://bestierebellion.com/TikTok and Instagram: @clarkeunleashed Support the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

Having social media presence under any capacity does create its share of issues. But I never expected blatant censorship and shadow-banning would be one of them. Social media is not exactly the friendliest place for socially aware Muslims and those POC who refuse to stay silent on social justice issues.In this episode I highlight some of the hurdles I have personally faced when trying to raise awareness about the plight of the Palestinian people, and I'm just a small time creator! I can only imagine how hard it must be for larger influencers who are putting everything on the line to be on the right side of history!Below are some of the links for some of the things I have discussed in the episode:Man sets himself on fire to bring attention to the genocide in Congo: https://themessenger.com/news/man-sets-himself-on-fire-while-holding-sign-stop-the-genocide-in-congoMy protest song (cover of "Zombie" by the Cranberries): https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cy9Qnc-NO20/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==My metrics comparison video, and how suppression and shadow-banning affects content creators: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzB9zVvtl-7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/kRgF72oOMwMSupport the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

In this episode I talk to, Dr. Rose Aslan, a certified Transformational Life Coach, and we talk about her time in the academic and public sphere, when she and other public Muslims became the "face" of an entire community. Especially after 9/11 and the Trump administration.How that crippling pressure of representing and collectively defending Muslims can take a toll, especially when media rhetoric is less than favorable towards Muslims.You can watch this episode on my YouTube Channel here: https://youtu.be/jO1eqxj6MVUYou can also follow Dr. Rose Aslan through these links:https://compassionflow.com/https://www.instagram.com/dr.rose.aslan/https://www.facebook.com/rsaslanSupport the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, this year will have no Halloween episode. Because we can all see that the horrors that humanity wreaks on itself are far more horrendous than any spooky story I could possibly find.This episode is my monologue on the genocide that is going on on the Palestinian people. The oppression and killings are happening with blatant cruelty and our taxpayer dollars are funding it!A ceasefire has to happen and it has to happen now! Call your Representative and call President Biden to demand a ceasefire and additional aid passage for the people of Gaza.Below are links to contact your Representative and demand action, petitions you can sign to make your voice heard and accounts you can follow that will help you give a more balanced perspective about what is happening in Palestine:https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/take-action/#act-nowhttps://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/email-congress-to-stop-fueling-violence/https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1UPPbp0d9QlRn1wvQ91YJQHLfd22WSp1d9b6dO4i0RmI/mobilebasichttps://docs.google.com/document/d/119OD9wiAUtPPBpetZN_P7jjcHMHiR6ZJcWqOahS71Lo/mobilebasic?pli=1You can also watch this episode on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/Zw25fyWbDqUSupport the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

*Trigger Warning* Episode discusses suicide and suicidal ideationIt's another heavy one folks! But I am hoping that this one helps shed some light on how difficult it can be to get suicide research data, especially in underrepresented communities.In this episode I talk to, Amelia Noor Oshiro, the Muslim suicide researcher, who has dedicated her PhD study to researching the potential causes of suicide within Muslim communities.We discuss the various factors that are known to impact suicide ratesin immigrant and marginalized communities and how her research could help provide help to those that are under-represented in suicide research.You can also watch this episode on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/SZ01E2bin1gIf you are Muslim and wish to help Amelia's research you can fill out her survey here:  www.tinyurl.com/muslimcommunitystudyAnd you can also follow Amelia on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/muslim.suicide.researcher/Support the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

*TRIGGER WARNING* - Discussion of Substance Abuse and Suicide.This is a difficult discussion to have but an important one. No one wants to believe that themself or their children could be in a position where their vulnerability gets the best of them and they could end up in the depths of substance abuse and suicidal ideation.But that is exactly what happened to my guest, motivational speaker, Belal Elkadri, and I am so grateful he sat down with me to have this frank discussion on this important topic. He gives insight into what often leads people, especially children, down these paths and how we as parents and the community can do more to be sources of support and help.You can also watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PWUalru1xC4To get in touch with Belal or to find out more about the topics he speaks on you can use the following links to his website and social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourbrotherbelal/Website: https://belalelkadri.com/Please, if you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide call the Suicide hotline at: 988They can and will help you!

How do you get people to become more sex-positive? You pivot your medical career and train to become an intimacy coach and at the same time start a podcast to get more people aware about their sexual wellness!

I welcome my guest, Saira Sufi, to take a deep dive into the discussion of how one of her twin son's diagnoses of a rare bone marrow disorder, Aplastic Anemia led her and her remaining son to become staunch advocates for bone marrow donations. Recruiting bone marrow donors of racial minorities is important, because finding bone marrow matches for minorities and mixed race individuals is especially hard. This is why Saira works hard to raise awareness and to recruit as many people to be bone marrow donors as possible.This episode is a testament to the fortitude of a family in memory of a very special young boy.To find out more about being a bone marrow donor please visit the following website and consider being a donor yourself. It is a chance to truly change someone's life!https://bethematch.orghttps://www.aamds.org/www.teamwatience.orgYou can also watch this episode on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/xgImkpUhWJgSupport the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

Happy Eid to my Muslim listeners and to EEEEVVERYONE! Even though Ramadan is over but with my kids fasting this time I learned some new lessons from the month and by the end of it we will be celebrating Eid!This episode is just a few reflections from Ramadan that sort of came up for me and how Muslims in the U.S. are trying to make Eid extra special for their kids.You can also watch the episode on my YouTube channel here:  https://youtu.be/pJvitSrLthkSupport the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

It is that time of year again! Ramadan and all the Muslims be fasting from dawn to dusk! And my kids doing it too (Bless them!)

Daniel MacQueen is a motivational speaker and podcast host from Vancouver.  He lived in London, England in 2014 when he was diagnosed with a non-cancerous cyst that required urgent brain surgery.  Daniel was in a coma for four weeks and had to learn how to walk, talk, and smile again.   He is sharing his journey of how he successfully navigated finding the motivation when he was learning to talk again, how difficult the transition was when returning home after several months in the hospital, and inspiring others who may be facing a similar challenge.   Daniel's podcast, “Play Loose, Look Tight” can be found on your favorite podcast app.   He's moving forward with intention and purpose helping change the way people view their setbacks.   Daniel has found there's nothing like a brain hemorrhage to refocus the mind.   Learn more about Daniel on his website: Macqueendan.com Guest Bio: At 28, Dan was leading a healthy, active life. After an optometrist appointment to identify the cause of his persistent headaches was cut short, he was handed a sealed envelope and told to go directly to the hospital. What followed, was emergency brain surgery. On June 21, 2014, Dan's reality was shattered by a devastating brain hemorrhage. With no map to guide him on the grueling path to recovery, Dan had to rely on his grit, perseverance, and resilience to relearn everything he once knew: how to walk, talk and even smile.   Dan has survived two emergency brain surgeries, weeks in a coma, and months in a rehab hospital. What he found out along the way might surprise you: there is nothing like a brain injury to refocus the mind! Driven by a positive mindset, Dan battled through excruciating rehab exercises to rebuild his life and return to a job he loved.   He's grateful for the doctors who saved him and the friends and family who supported him. Now he wants to pay it forward. The tools Dan used to build back his life can be used by anyone facing challenges. He will reveal strategies to help you or your team be #BetterThanYesterday and achieve your goals, one step at a time. His action-oriented life hacks will help you tackle anything you face.   Through his talks, Dan has inspired groups at the @NHS London Wolfsen rehabilitation centre, @Headway - West London, a Brain injury association, @Hootsuite, a social media management company and @Spendesk a Fintech SaaS company based in London. His audiences were moved and uplifted by Dan's story and ready to use his practical approaches to triumph over adversity.    Join Dan to learn how changing your perspective can activate your resilience. ___________________ Subscribe to this podcast and download your favorite episodes to listen to later: Apple  Spotify  RSS Feed  ___________________   ⚕️ Are you a woman healthcare professional who is struggling to juggle everything in your personal and professional life?

We also talk about her co-authored media benchmark, the Obeidi-Alsultany test and how studios are using that to create more authentic Muslim diversity in the media context.You can also watch this interview on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/0y3bjwK0kuEYou can find out more about Evelyn on her website at: www.evelynalsultany.comYou can also follow her on Twitter: @evelynalsultanyAnd on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/evelynalsultany/You can buy Evelyn's book, "Broken: The Failed Promise of Muslim Inclusion", wherever books are sold and also on the NYUPress website: https://nyupress.org/9781479823963/broken/Support the showPlease don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

In this episode I have the incredible opportunity to interview author, body-positivity activist and the first International plus-sized model, Leah V!We talk about how her passion for writing gave way to her starting her modeling career, in an industry that doesn't take kindly to plus-sized models!
