  • The Maternal Body Through a Doula's Eye

    The Maternal Body Through a Doula's Eye
    Apr 7 2024

    To be seen, heard, acknowledged and understood is an innate desire that we all crave as human beings.


    Statistics have shown that the mortality rate of ''Black'' mothers in the hospital ward is up to 4 times higher than Caucasian mothers in the west. Was it always this way? Are ''Black '' female bodies deteriorating?


    ''Black'' mothers-to-be are increasingly turning away from a medical system with many disparities present, and resorting to alternative methods for birthing. What other safe and efficient resorts are out there?


    In this episode I interview, sister Nicola Mahdiyya and sister Asiila Imani, two sisters in faith each from a different continent and both encounter life situations and circumstances that paves a way to link up via a common mentor in their journeys as an honourable, life- saving, empowering and altruistic profession working alongside mothers-to-be as Doulas. Who are the two sisters? What were those circumstances? What is a Doula? What does it mean? Does it have any negative connotations? And What's the difference between a Doula and a midwife? And what is their role in honouring this sacred stage of women and the new life that she carries?


    The answers to all this and more. Listen to find out.

    -Sister Asiila Imani: Ran a birthing business titled Mothermaid and is now retired.

  • Speak Like an Egyptian 4 - Let's Expat!

    Speak Like an Egyptian 4 - Let's Expat!
    Apr 7 2024
    Lip pursing in order to hold herself back from saying something that could result in her acting out of character is something that Halimah exercises extra hard particularly during the Holy month of Ramadan.


    Halimah & Hannah are a couple of fictitious ‘’Black’’ British wives, each with a big family.


    Halimah has 4 boys & 2 girls. Hannah has 3 girls & a boy on the way. Both families recognise that it takes a village to raise a family and have been contemplating leaving the UK and going to the UK, and so they've done a bit of research and jotted down a list of countries. Which countries could end up being their new home, and what circumstances have lead them to think deeply about leaving everything behind?


    Listen to another episode of 'Speak Like an Egyptian', bringing to you new words and phrases in Egyptian Arabic in a story context, to make the experience of a ''Black'' woman at the start of her Arabic learning journey more practical and easier to retain. The topic? Immigration.


    Remember to pause, stop and replay when needed, and look out for your free downloadable to consolidate what you'll learn.
    Enjoy!

  • Letting it Flow - My Arabic Learning Journey as a ''Black'' Woman

    Letting it Flow - My Arabic Learning Journey as a ''Black'' Woman
    Mar 17 2024

    My Arabic learning journey like many others started out as a human experience. A soulful experience in a little body as a little girl, but that experience changed.


    What was that soulful experience like, what changed it, and can those very same causes possibly effect the vigour of other ''Black'' women who may be either at the start of her Arabic learning journey or whom have after decades decided to throw in the towel, or at least have a relationship with the language with less enthusiasm?


    What are some common themes playing out unintentionally in the majority of Arabic learning spaces attended by ''Black'' women in the West?


    In this episode, I share some of my Arabic learning journey both as a student and as a teacher.


    What was your experience like as a ''Black'' female body cruising on an Arabic learning journey? And if you haven't embarked on a journey yet, what would you like it to be like?


    What resonated with you in today's episode? Let's hear you in the comments, sis!
