Mommying While Muslim
Mommying While Muslim is a one of a kind podcast where American Muslim moms share their experiences to raise second generation kids. Having experienced both pre and post 9/11 America, they're acutely aware of the unique challenges their families face on top of the regular messes that all moms share. Mommying While Muslim is a space to take back their stories, and tell those no one will air on the news or portray fully or fairly in the media. Host Uzma Jafri is mom first, careerwoman second, and global citizen at heart. She meets taboo topics head on because she wasn't allowed to do it growing up, not at home or at school and work. Her aim is to better her immediate household, community, and her momsisterhood the world over by telling the truths sometimes people don't want to face or to hear. Not everyone has these privileges, and she is eager to learn as well as share her own experiences. Always looking to give back, MWM finds women and families who need a mic because no one needs a voice; they just need an opportunity to speak. Besides tough social issues, MWM tackles political ones because when laws affect kids, we're coming for them as well as the ones who make them! There's no lane that doesn't get taken here. Along the way, MWM recruits momallies for Muslim Americans who have been inordinately targeted for the last 20 years. True moms know that ALL our children deserve to be safe, loved, and happy, and we bust every yellow brick on the Islamaphobic road to make sure they all are. If you like good trouble, this one's for you!

SERIES Kink & Control in the Bedroom: Honeymoon Cystitis to Menopausal Dryness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We kick off our February series with the theme: Kink & Control in the Bedroom. Who better to teach us control there than Dr. Neda, NP, who joins us today to talk about sex during early conjugal relations in Muslim American bedroom life, and in later phases. While she’s better known as @hijabiluscious, her professional career has her taking care of people and their health needs first. And sex is a vital health need, as well as a marker of good health.
Body autonomy is something near and dear to her, and she takes it a notch up by teaching us how to keep those luscious bodies autonomous and satisfied once they’re participating more often (emphasis on “often”) in sexual activities. Find out how to troubleshoot what’s not feeling right and more importantly, how to talk to both your doctor and partner about it.
Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or head to our website landing page to listen up. Share this with a shy guy or girl in your life who also had to sit out sex ed because their parent(s) didn’t want them to “get any ideas.”
