Our final episode of our Changemakers season is with Sarah Ahmed — a psychotherapist and CEO of Leena, a national mental health practice that addresses the unique needs of communities of color across Canada. She can be found sharing her expertise online @thepoctherapist through her popular accounts on Tiktok and Instagram.
Today, we’ll be talking to Sarah about why having access to therapists of color is so important, how her own background informs her approach and supports her clients, and the importance of community for healing trauma.
Joining me in the co-host seat is my childhood friend Samia Zitawi, who is Palestinian American.

Anisa Khalifa, a producer on the Me & My Muslim friends team at WUNC, also hosts her own podcast called Muslim in Plain Sight. The show focuses on coming of age post-9/11 and how our community became both “invisible and hypervisible.” In this bonus episode from Muslim in Plain Sight, Anisa and co-host Khadija Khalil talk to Joshua Salaam, Muslim Chaplain at Duke University, about being Muslim in the military, anti-Black racism in our communities, and Salaam’s musical and professional career post-9/11.
