Solo Episode: 2025 and Beyond! 20:48

לפני 9 weeks20:48

20:48

Send me a Text Message! Another year down and it has been a doozy! Ongoing genocides and the re-election of the Cheeto and so much more! We collectively have to do better. The time for words and lessons is past and now we got to dedicate ourselves to action. Action that will bring about the change that is needed to fix this mess of a world we have created. Clean it up, fix it up and leave it a livable planet for our kids. I'm sort of leaning towards that direction too. I seem to be at some sort of impasse and I am not sure if I will continue podcasting after I come back from my break in January. Although, I'm not even 100% sure about that decision but it is something I am thinking over. And even if that is the case, it won't be a permanent goodbye, more like podcasting infrequently as compared to before. AND I will still be posting other content on my Instagram and YouTube (links below) so please follow me there to keep up with me and what the future holds. And to get in touch with me directly for any suggestions or feedback you can DM me or send me an email at: shehla.faizi01@gmail.com My deepest gratitude to all y'all who have stuck around with me for these 4 years in my podcasting journey. I'll still be here, in a sense, and I hope you'll follow me in me growth from this moment on.

Special Episode: It's a Live! With Dr. Uzma Jafri 59:36

59:36

Send me a Text Message! It's no secret, when times get tough and we need answers, you gotta turn to the smart people! Well that's what I did, because I was getting also experiencing post-election stress, so I turned to one of the smartest people I knew, Dr. Uzma Jafri, producer and host of the "Mommying While Muslim" podcast. And we sat down and discussed in an Instagram Live about what comes next for the future of America? What should the people who don't approve of the cheeto and all his shenanigans do to make sure that lunacy and fascism does not reign supreme, especially in lieu of him and his backers really wanting to enact Project 2025? This episode is a recording of that live discussion, and the reason I put it out as an episode is because I think it has lots of insights that will benefit listeners about 'what to do next?' Inaction is not an option, folks. Resistance and revolution is the way forward!

Solo Episode: America did NOT Pass the Vibe-Check! 14:44

לפני 14 weeks14:44

14:44

Send me a Text Message! The presidential elections are now over and... the cheeto is back. I wish I could be anymore respectful about this but I can't bring myself to pretend. Cheeto's last presidential reign was a complete joke and this time he's got a whole bunch of jokers that he wants to push into the spotlight with him. As disastrous as that is, what I find even more concerning is the terrible attitudes that some democratic voters have adopted where they are now pointing fingers at minorities as the cause for the tangerine's win. Including Muslims. This episode is a PSA for all the furious democrats that want to have a hissy fit. You have a right to be mad at the situation, but get your facts straight Muslims and marginalized groups were not the reason that Trump is back. Please, lecture white people who voted for him in droves. Do not endanger Muslims and Minorities with your online rage.

Send me a Text Message! For this seasons very first Gift of the Gab, I interview my friend Jessica Elgamil, who is a certified yoga teacher by trade, and she just returned from an aid mission to Egypt. She recounts how the opportunity came about to help Palestinian refugees, who had escaped the genocide in Palestine through the Rafah border in Egypt. But escaping the war is only the first step for refugees, in the very difficult process of rebuilding their lives. I discuss with her the experience with the aid distribution in Egypt and what else (besides monetary aid) is needed by the refugees to help them get back on their feet.

Send me a Text Message! When doing the work of activism for a cause, it sometimes happens that we experience tunnel vision; assuming that it is the only thing that is important. That is what sort of happened to me, I lost sight for a bit of the bigger picture. Ever since October 7th, the World at large has been raising its voice for a free Palestine and as important as that is, we shouldn't forget that that isn't the only major atrocity that is happening in the world. The same demons of of corporate greed and capitalism are responsible for the genocides in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen, and the list goes on and on. That is what I discuss in this episode about the importance of not micro-focusing our activism and to check the fact that are we biased when it comes to WHO we will raise our voices for? Because if we are then we will end up perpetuating the cycles of oppression that we need to abolish forever!

Send me a Text Message! Opening this season with a bang with a guest I've been wanting have on for FOREVER! In the very first episode of 'The Whole Muslim' for this season, I feature, Sarah Albassri or "Instructor Sarah" as she is known on social media. Sarah is a 3rd year Ph.D student, but her claim to fame online is for being a Tae Kwando instructor, who got famous showing off all her amazing moves while being VERY pregnant! But life hasn't always been smooth sailing for Sarah and we delve deep into how she was forced to immigrate to the U.S. in 2013 because of war breaking out in Syria. It was a tough adjustment for Sarah but lucky for her (and us!) that she found community within a Tae Kwando dojo and the rest is history!

Send me a Text Message! Your favorite podcaster is BACK! And I am 4 years and 9 seasons in (please, don't ask me the math, I'm just making this up as I go :D) But I have been in a bit of an emotional rut, I had really looked forward to celebrating my 4 years and upcoming 100 episode. But with how the situation is in Palestine, I cannot bring myself to do so... So, for now I will just be bringing you more episodes, more interviews and more perspectives as usual. And maybe if the situation changes, I might do a giveaway. But until then, if you are an ardent listener of mine and understand how dire the situation is in Palestine, please pressure your representatives for a ceasefire and the allowance of aid to the people of Palestine. You can also donate to the following organizations that are working tirelessly to help the people in Palestine and the Gaza Strip: UNRWA Bait-ul-Maal This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/P4g3laILbaU Support the show Please don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

Send me a Text Message! ***TRIGGER WARNING*** This episode discusses sexual assault In 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 awareness about the atrocities in Palestine.

Send me a Text Message! 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-congo My 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/kRgF72oOMwM Support the show Please don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

Send me a Text Message! 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.

Send me a Text Message! 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-now https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/email-congress-to-stop-fueling-violence/ https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1UPPbp0d9QlRn1wvQ91YJQHLfd22WSp1d9b6dO4i0RmI/mobilebasic https://docs.google.com/document/d/119OD9wiAUtPPBpetZN_P7jjcHMHiR6ZJcWqOahS71Lo/mobilebasic?pli=1 You can also watch this episode on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/Zw25fyWbDqU Support the show Please don't forget to follow me here and on social media!

Send me a Text Message! *Trigger Warning* Episode discusses suicide and suicidal ideation It'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 rates in immigrant and marginalized communities and how her research could help provide help to those that are under-represented in suicide research.

Send me a Text Message! *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.
