Mommying While Muslim

About 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!

   Season of Change: Motherhood in Memoir

   Well, I have no excuses for not podcasting regularly anymore, so maybe this is the new norm? A couple every quarter? Would that keep you listening, or do you really want me to go back to weekly? Life is changing hard and fast for all of us, but the end of my season of change is not yet in sight. So the changes to this podcast and its schedule just may part and parcel of that. TBD. BUT Dr. Samaiya Mushtaq, author of A Beautiful Patience, is on today to discuss her book, released earlier ...

   SERIES: Seasons of Change: Being a Defiant Working Woman With Dr. Qaali Hussein (And Without DEI!)

   "Keep your promises, especially to yourself." That's been the carrot I've been dangling for myself as I put together this May's Season of Change Series for the podcast. First on this month, Dr. Qaali Hussein, double board certified surgeon, whom I've wanted to come on for a long time and couldn't pin down myself, is here to talk about what propelled her work to change, and how she made it happen. What does "defiance" mean to us, why are we afraid of it, and let's just get over our apprehensio...

   Resolutions & Reparations

   🥳🥳🥳Happy New Year! 2025 was hard for me. I'm so grateful for a new year, new slate and I pray yours is even better than I pray for you all. There's a short "episode" today. Big kudos to @faizifortexas running for Texas Comptroller. Do BIG things, y'all, even if you have to do them scared. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 ⚠⚠ BUT a warning to those in the DMV: Swipe left to witness those closest to Allah, who can't communicate with words. And then listen to what I reported about @rnacoordinates behavior and their refus...
