Listen to our friend Tahirah Nailah Dean (lawyer by day, and writer on all matters of faith & love by night) highlight 7 common biases Muslim women encounter on the road to love and marriage—and how she launched a disruptive project all about it after facing some of these biases firsthand.

So like…how do you meet a habibi?

In today’s ever-evolving Muslim marriage landscape, what are the different ways to meet a habibi or habibti? How effective (or not so effective) are some of these methods? Join Ayah and Noura as they begin to take look at Noura’s past experiences via her super-official-chart-of-the-different-ways-to-meet-someone (copyright pending of course!!) and theorize together why it might be getting harder to meet like-minded people...
