“Grey rocking” is a tactic for dealing with narcissistic abuse, “cancel culture” is a social norm that excommunicates certain people for certain things, and I’m going to tell you how they relate and how they could be affecting you creatively, professionally and interpersonally. Don’t bite your tongue anymore, majnoonis. I’ve been cancelled and it didn’t kill me. This is an invitation for you to take up more space and be yourself.
What does it feel like to experience consistent micro aggressions and acts of disrespect in daily life, down to the calling of your name? How does this affect how we treat each other? I’m continuing to clear my throat chakra around the topic of interracial relationships and friendships from my viewpoint and dive deeper into why it’s so hard to speak about it.
Let’s get on the same page about race and racism real quick. It will only take a few minutes. I will admit, I am racist. Here’s the story of how I became that way.
You’ve probably never heard anyone say any of this before, at least I haven’t, so tune in and let’s talk about the truth about interracial relationships.
In this episode Amira describes her current transformation phase. As she exits the chrysalis of the Heaven On Earth liminal space, her butterfly wings begin to dry and she looks forward to what’s next.
Amira dives into a topic that she holds a lot of expertise in as a mixed race person and Palestinian person. Treat this episode like a meditation. “These are the important things I needed to say first, with all seriousness, before I say anything else on the topics of race/ethnicity, culture and racism.”
In this episode Amira reflects on the meme about white people who have only white friends which went viral in the summer of 2020 and how it may not actually be a bad thing that some people’s friend groups are not diverse.
“If you love me, get ready to fight a revolution for my people.” -Carmela Habibi 🛸 It’s not always easy being a revolutionary individual but when we are silent we are still afraid so Amira decided it’s better to speak. She goes in on some of the factors in social dynamics that trouble her most as an Arab woman. If you believe in supporting the troops, you will hate this episode. The only troops we acknowledge are freedom fighters.
I’m not asking you why, I’m telling you why. Get into this podcast to deeply question your internalized biases against Arab people and everything you know about who we are as a people.
It’s no secret that race and ethnicity affect mental health but it is rarely spoken about in relation to the Arab Muslim community. Amira shares her opinion on what it’s like being labeled as crazy, the disconnect between propaganda and reality, and how we can protect our mental health while being who we are. Listen to this episode on Spotify for an exclusive playlist.
In this first episode Amira explains why she started Majnooni Confessions and why so many people hate Arabs & Muslims so much. She also gives non-Arabs and non-Muslims some easy tips for engaging with us respectfully.
In this episode Amira breaks down the expectations of perfection endemic to the cultures she was raised in and gives permission to herself to be herself anyway.
