NOT ABOUT YOU | Episode 8 Regina Mustafa

“You have to be uncomfortable if you want to make
change.”


Regina Mustafa, founder of CIDI (Community Interfaith Dialogue on
Islam), talks about her experiences as a Muslim-American. She
speaks honestly about misconceptions about Islam, talks about the
word terrorism and explains the financial and emotional
incentives that work to perpetuate ideas that keep a divide
between Muslims and non-Muslims.


The premise of Not About You is simple. I wanted to ask
marginalized folks to tell a white, straight, cis-gendered person
(that's me) what question or questions they wish they never had
to hear again. They did just that and I had them answer those
question, hopefully for the last time.

Also, I've been a comedy writer and performer my entire adult
life, so this show is full of jokes.

I’ve set up a voicemail line, 612-361-9261, where you can share
comments, suggestions and personal stories of your own that may
be used in future episodes of the podcast. If you tell me which
episode you’re responding to, that will help me make follow up
episodes with voicemail responses. Call 612-361-9261 with your
questions, comments or stories.
