Send me a Text Message! First episode of 2025 and it is a doozy! For this The Whole Muslim, I am featuring the Ad'iyah Collective, an organization that was created so that Muslim Women can have a safe, inclusive space during their pregnancy-ending journey. The subject of abortion has been in the news A LOT, especially because so many politicians are working so hard to take away our rights to bodily autonomy.

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

Send me a Text Message! Strange are the times when news outlets are constantly under scrutiny for how they are (or are not!) covering the news. I sit down with content creator, Maureen Johnson, a.ka. '@realgodivagodess', and we talk about how questioning news narratives got her and other content creators into hot water with big news media outlets. And that ignited her fire to create news content on social media, as an alternative to what is out there in the mainstream. And she has been a thorn i

Send me a Text Message! Spooky season is upon us and we are all out there looking for a good fright. But is Critical Race Theory one of them? That is what I try to find out by sitting with, Aja Martinez, a multi-award winning author of multiple books on CRT. We discuss what it actually is, why is there so much fear around it and is that fear based on any facts? So, come join us around the podcast fire as we dispel some myths and tell you about the real socio-political demons you should be afraid
