Challenging Stereotypes Through Comedy with Aizzah Fatima
Filmmaker and comedian Aizzah Fatima discusses her film "Americanish," which revolves around the lives of Pakistani Muslim female characters in Queens, New York, as they navigate the challenges of romance, culture, work, and family. Aizzah shares her journey of turning a one-woman play into a feature film, her struggles with fundraising within the Muslim community, and the significance of having authentic representation of American Muslim women in mainstream cinema. The conversation also touches on Aizzah's background growing up in Mississippi, her shift from microbiology to a career in the entertainment industry, and her upcoming project "Muslim Girls DTF," which aims to showcase the diverse voices and experiences of Muslim women.
