This week’s guest on Gen BIPOC is Asma Mohammed Nizami, who works to empower Muslim women and girls at @RevivingSisterhood, and also had a hand in building the nation’s first permanent memorial to survivors of sexual violence. Because we contain multitudes, Asma and I also discuss banana bread, abolition, biodatas, pandemic weddings, and hating politicians (like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey).

If you’re able, Asma would appreciate you donating to ZACAH, which “strives to provide support for residents of Minnesota facing poverty and the threat of displacement and unsheltered homelessness, especially from marginalized religious, socioeconomic and ethnic communities.” Visit www.zacah.org to donate.
