Letters from a Muslim Woman PodcastWitnessFor nearly a year now, whenever I close my eyes I see bloodied Palestinian children covered in dust that used to be concrete. Now, my mind’s eye brings me a new vision. The bright, beautiful face of Marcellus Khalifa Williams, a Black Muslim man who was executed several days ago by the State of Missouri for a crime he did not commit. In the aftermath of his killing, my feed was flooded with pictures of his poetry, written for the children of Palestine, and his last words, a testimony.All it takes to become a...2024-09-2704 min
Letters from a Muslim Woman PodcastThe World's Most Lethal Fighting ForceIf you’re like me, you’ve been following the US election even though you’d rather look away. As a Canadian, I have no vote, and yet, I care more than I’ve ever cared before. It’s hard not to care when American policy affects so much of what happens not just within its own borders, but across the world. My first thought continues to be Palestine. The killing of Palestinians now not only in Gaza, but in the West Bank. The destruction of whatever little civil infrastructure still exists. The annexing of more and more and m...2024-09-1706 min

Whole Stories Shortly PodcastLife is Short. In Somalia, I Savored Every BiteAs I set off on a new series of travel adventures, the spirit that drives me is curiosity, a desire to experience the world and taste all the flavors it has to offer. For me, food and travel are so deeply intertwined that it’s impossible to separate them. I keep a list of my Top 10 best-ever meals in the part of my brain where my tastebuds tingle. Some are fancy restaurant classics, others have more humble origins. Like the glorious New England clambake that I ate perched on the rocky Maine coastline but the most unlikely co...2024-07-2109 min
Letters from a Muslim Woman PodcastA bruised hijabiI am looking at my face in the bathroom mirror at 5:45 on Wednesday morning. The bruise on my right cheekbone is more pronounced than the night before. It gives the impression of contouring, of those fake Kardashian cheekbones I don’t have.I press on it gingerly, waiting for the feedback of the pain. Will my Nars tinted lotion be enough to cover this? My other hand comes up to the red-brown on my chin. This one whines like a high-frequency radio station, the feedback sharp and sudden. No Nars will cover it.Riding my bi...2024-07-1709 min
Letters from a Muslim Woman PodcastAlice Munro, CanLit, and Double ConsciousnessUpdate: Several weeks after I published this post, Alice Munro’s daughter, Andrea Skinner, told the world of the fact that her stepfather had sexually assaulted her, and that after her mother learned this, she continued to live with him until his death.
