What's Going on in Sudan and Why The UAE is CANCELLED
Happy Thursday Cousins!!! 💛We’re back with a brand new episode, a little shorter than usual (just like Sara lol) but we hope you still enjoy the listen! This week we covered the devastating situation happening in Sudan and how the UAE has played a huge role in supporting the RSF, we also talk about holding brands accountable and why boycotting can actually work. In more positive news, NYC has a new, Muslim Mayor - Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election! Next we spoke about the Earth to Khadijah Hijab controversy and ended off the episode with a hypothetical would you rather question, brought to you by yours truly - Amir! **PS: We want to make sure that we are providing a reputable link for everyone to be able to donate to for Sudan - if any of you are listening and know of a solid source, please DM us on our CCP account or DM Sara's personal page and we'll update our description with the link :)So grab your snacks, turn us all the way up while you clean, chill, or drive, and hang out with us like always.

Sara Went on a Blind Date?!?
Happy Thursday Cousins!!! 💛In the last few weeks, the guys at Loose Merto Podcast flew all the way to Toronto to host an Open Mic Night in support of Gaza, Congo and Sudan and we were so moved by the talent! Sara went on a blind date...she's spilling the TEA! Amir talks about being an introvert again and Sara shared a hilarious story of him displaying his introverted tendencies. Next, Amir and Sara spoke about the on going discourse between Dawah Bros and Hijabi influencers online, who's really in the wrong here? On the topic of Hijab, Amir discusses Iran's removal of mandatory Hijab and what that means for the women there. And of course, the Minnesota Scream Club controversy was discussed, did they go too far? They also spoke about a DoorDash delivery person who claimed to be harassed but was then let go by the company? And lastly, the Ceasefire that should bring happiness, relief and joy to all of us but has left us feeling skeptical...So grab your snacks, turn us all the way up while you clean, chill, or drive, and hang out with us like always.
