  • 08 - Women and the Way We See Them
    Sep 29 2020

    Across time and culture, women’s value in society has been dictated by their physical appearance, so we decided to sit down and have an uncomfortable conversation dissecting how this impacts us. Is the body positivity movement a step in the right direction or does it distract from the message that women are more than what they look like? Does social media empower women or does it further exacerbate the hypersexualization of the female? What measures can be taken to counteract the fixation of beauty that disproportionately affects women?
    Our guests included Momina Khan, whose work in audiovisual media are tied to fashion and pop culture; Aneesa Patel, whose focus as a dietitian is in the realm of eating disorders; and Nour Jabri, a middle school teacher who watches the coming generation react to the world around them as they develop. Get ready to listen to this amazing conversation as this group of women sit down to try to make sense of the world they grew up in, approaching it from different perspectives. It was controversial, but necessary.

  • 07 - The American Education
    Sep 7 2020

    Education has been a hot button issue for as long as anyone can remember, but arguably now more than ever with the emergence of COVID. What types of educational opportunities exist for students, and are there disparities in access? What can we expect of the rise of ed tech? What long-term impact of the pandemic are we expecting to see on schools, children, and parents? Is vocational training the future?
    In this episode, Aamina and Lelas sit down with Chris Blauvelt, Nasiha Razvi, Baian Tbakhi, Yosra Yehia, and Raeesa Khan - each uniquely involved in the the realm of education - and discussed American schooling from the elementary through university levels. Listen to learn about what reforms these educators and administrators hope to see!
