Expansive. Curious. Interfaith. Listen along as conversations between host Aiden Kent and guests across age, race, religion, culture, and national borders get deep into what it means to practice hair covering and modesty today. Support the show on Instagram and Patreon at @gotyoucoveredpod.
As I’m recording this introduction that you’re listening to right now, I’m struggling with my modesty. Maybe that’s a surprising thing to hear from someone who hosts a podcast about the subject and makes content about it online and spouts volumes about how magical of a practice modesty and hair covering can be. But as sparkly and a-flame as covering can make me feel, it feels equally important to share the struggles, to let you know that you’re not alone.
Luckily, past me is here to offer some medicine. Cutting together this episode with Avalon Rose, the creator behind @ahijabirose and The Rebord Muslim Podcast ended up being a therapeutic exercise. In the next hour, you’ll hear how Avalon went from wanting to commit to hijab as soon as she converted, to hanging on by a thread about to take it off. Her perspectives around navigating the gray areas of religious practice have inspired me to have some grace with myself around my struggles, and I hope that in listening to her, you’ll feel supported and comforted as well.

15. Futurism, Fashion and Faith with Yasmeen Collins
In the last several months, the internet has become alight with chatter about ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and which launched just in November 2022. In the first month of its launch, ChatGPT had more than 57 million monthly users, and OpenAI reports that 13 million individual active users visited ChatGPT per day as of January 2023.
AI for personal casual use has just crested into public consciousness (raise your hand if you too have problematically (though unknowingly) used AI to generate artistic portraits of yourself), but hundreds of industries have been using AI across the supply chain from ideation to shipment and distribution.
Yasmeen Collins is a Muslim fashion designer who co-founded an AI-driven fashion startup called “AI Made This”, which uses artificial intelligence to generate the patterns and designs that are then printed onto fabric and hand-made into streetwear and modest-friendly garments in Yasmeen’s little studio in New York City.
I’m highkey obsessed with how technology, faith and futurism, that is, the study of what our future might look like, all intersect, and that was kind of the impetus for this podcast. I went into this conversation with Yasmeen absolutely bursting with questions about how faith will be expressed in this new technological era, how we’ll come to terms with what beauty and the human spirit mean in a world where a computer can produce and sell high-quality artwork, and most specifically, how inner and outer modesty can express itself as a practice under these conditions.
