Between Two Worlds: The Reality of Raising Muslim Kids Today

The conversation every Muslim parent in America is having behind closed doors. In this raw and honest discussion, we dive deep into the daily struggles of raising children with Islamic values while navigating modern American society - a topic that resonates deeply. 

Our guest for today is Dewnya Bazzi.

 What We're Really Talking About:

• The constant battle between preserving Islamic identity and fitting in socially
• How to handle your child's questions about dating, music, and mixed-gender friendships
• The pressure of teaching Arabic and Quran when English dominates their world

• Building confidence in Muslim identity without creating social isolation
• The mental toll on parents trying to balance tradition with integration
