Ep. 97: Every Aisha and Jamal You Know! (Ft. Dr. Mar Aziz!)

Hey Baes!!! This week we’re so excited to welcome DOCTOR Mar Aziz to the show. Dr. Mar (they/them) is a Black, Non-Binary, Muslim scholar-practitioner. As an organizer, Aziz regularly teaches radically inclusive self-defense classes in person and virtually. Dr. Mar gave us a whole history lesson about Black Islam and our ancestors, the impact of Black Islam on Black culture and spirituality, and how queer folks are constantly doing deep dives to piece together healing that is inclusive for us all. There’s also a syllabus to go along with it (books they mentioned are linked below!) Please enjoy the conversation and go follow Dr. Mar’s work!
