Zaiba and Uzma’s dads join them on this bonus episode for Father’s Day talking about their immigrant experiences and how they contributed to their daughters’ Muslim identities in America.

It’s a rare to have male voice on the podcast, but as moms themselves, the cohosts know how important fathers are in their children’s lives. These dads are friends in real life, developed generational relationships and resilience, and pray that their Muslim American grandchildren inherit and practice the truest version of Islam as they create their own culture.

Hear about immigrant “speed dating” experiences, the sage advice of fathers now passed, new daddyhood, and the ultimate raising of kids without a manual of any kid.

Military Mom

Continuing our series on “moms outside the box,” Lt. Col. Mona Johnson USA, Retired joins Zaiba and Uzma today to discuss her military career post-divorce, the unique experiences she had as a single Muslim mom in the Army, and the cultural hot topics she saw then and now. As an immigrant to this country in the late 50s, Miss Mona has literally seen the United States transform in progressive ways, yet remained stagnant in others. Some of these discussions are heartwrenching and leave us wanting more or to cover our ears because they’re difficult to hear. We don’t shy away from her accounts because they are our shared American history.

Her insights are useful, especially to those Muslim Americans who question their ability to serve openly in the Armed Forces as people of faith. Hot off the presses, her autobiography is a must for our sons and daughters to learn about their worth, their Muslim identities, and how to change their circumstances against all odds.
