Muslims are no stranger to racism and inequality from the outside world, but there's no denying

it exists within our own communities as well. You're listening to Unsweeten and Unfiltered the

podcast, Episode 14 of Season 2. In today's episode, we speak to Aisha Jihad about her experiences

with racism growing up as a Black Muslim in a Muslim country, how she learned to

navigate and embrace her identity, and what we can do to help end the cycle of anti-blackness

in today's society.

Hey, it's Danielle and Zana.

And welcome to unsweetened and unfiltered, the podcast where we elevate the voices of women by sharing their stories of struggle while also highlighting their success.

We wanted to create a space for women to feel like they're not alone in whatever hardship they may be facing.

Some conversations may be lighthearted, while others may touch upon taboo topics ranging from mental health to women's bodies and spiritual struggles, and we don't shy away from any of it.

But our overall mission is to make every woman realize that she is not alone. We are all in this together, I promise.

Our sole purpose is to build relationships, not barriers, between you and the woman who may need you.

We're here to provide inspiration and to build courage.

Tune in every Wednesday where we'll future an insightful guest who will help us reach these goals.

We laugh, we ugly cry, and we'll probably laugh some more.

So plug in your headphones, grab your favorite cup of coffee or Shea and get ready to become a part of this

unbreakable sisterhood. You are tuning into season two of unsweetin and unfiltered.

You guys, we're only two weeks in and Zana already has had her first Ramadan injury.

Do you care to explain?

You know, I was trying to cook, and this is why I don't cook.

I don't cook.

Key or try.
