Our opinions matter, but are rarely sought out. That’s why the 5 of us decided to come together every week to talk about how we view various issues as young, Muslim American women specializing in different professions. Through this podcast we’re hoping to build a network, promote dialogue, and connect with others who are dealing with similar issues. Join us on our journey as we talk about current events, politics, mental health, and fun light-hearted conversations. So kick back, relax, and turn that volume all the way up.
Sincerely,
The Modern Skeptics
