Hijab Pride, Hijab Hide: A Podcast by Mallak
(This Podcast was submitted as an entry in the 2023 NPR Student Podcast Challenge 4th-8th Grade Competition)
My name is Mallak and I'm an 8th-grade student at Herricks Middle School. As a student who wears a hijab, I interview a friend who also wears a hijab. There's one catch, she pretends to her parents that she wears it during the day when in school. To keep her secret safe, I refer to her as "Natasha" in our recording. I hope that this helps people understand what a few American Muslim Females experience growing up. This is a candid conversation about our experiences. We both support one another and have this conversation to present our background in a positive light.
This podcast was recorded in Herricks Studios with Michael Heit in the Content Creation Foundations 8th Grade Elective.
