Episode Description

StartFragment

In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan and her co-host Susanna Keiserman explore Muslim culture and integration in America, addressing misconceptions around cultural takeover. They explain what culture truly means and how Muslim Americans have contributed to the United States by sharing food, fashion, traditions, and religious practices into the broader culture that have enriched society rather than threatened it. Dr. Khan distinguishes between assimilation, where people give up their original culture, and integration, where multiple identities coexist.

Through examples like halal cuisine and modest fashion brands, the episode highlights how integration allows multiple identities to coexist without losing heritage. Dr. Khan distinguishes between assimilation, which requires discarding original culture, and integration, which supports diversity. This episode challenges common fears and sheds light on the dynamic process of cultural blending, offering a clearer understanding of Muslim American culture and its vital role in shaping a diverse America.

Where Muslim voices rise, bridges are built, and historyâ€™s unsung heroines reclaim their light.

WISE Women with Daisy Khan gives voice to Muslims sharing their experiences with anti-Muslim bias, educates non-Muslims to become upstanders against discrimination, and spotlights extraordinary women throughout history whose contributions have been erased. We reclaim faith as a force for good while building bridges between East and Westâ€”transforming fear into understanding, one conversation at a time.

In a world where misinformation silences too many voices, we break through the noise by creating space for authentic dialogue. Muslims share their experiences, grievances, and hope for a better future, turning pain into a powerful conversation that demands to be heard.

Our episodes are designed to educate and empower non-Muslims to reject stereotyping and discrimination when they see it. We believe understanding begins with listening, so we challenge disinformation with knowledge and empathy, equipping people to become courageous upstanders.

We revive the legacy of luminary women who shaped civilizations yet were erased from history's pagesâ€”a reminder that women have always been shapers of civilizations, despite attempts to erase their contributions.

At its heart, WISE Women confronts the distortion and weaponization of religion for political gain, reclaiming faith as a force for justice, equality, and empowerment.

This isn't just another podcastâ€”it's a bridge between communities taught to fear each other, between the world as it is and the world as it could be. We're opening hearts and minds, building the understanding our divided world desperately needs.

Welcome to WISE Women. Where wisdom meets courage, and voices become bridges.
