Did you know an NBA Hall of Famer played high-stakes games while fasting for Ramadan and still dominated the court?

In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan and co-host Susanna Keiserman expose what the mainstream media refuses to tell you about Muslim American athletes, entertainers, and artists who are reshaping American identity. They debunk the viral "mosque takeover" myth by revealing how 2,700 mosques evolved to look like American megachurches, complete with cafes and gymnasiums. The Olympic fencer who wore a hijab and got her own Barbie doll, comedians like Hasan Minhaj and Rami Youssef telling distinctly American stories, and Muslim women leading in space exploration all prove how Muslim integration enriches American culture rather than threatens it. Dr. Khan shares her personal story of scoring goals on a field hockey team as the "only brown girl" and reveals why opponents blocked her 2010 cultural center that could have bridged communities. If you think Muslim Americans are inserting foreign elements into American life, this conversation will challenge everything you believed. They're not inserting anything, they're expanding what America has always been.

WISE Women with Daisy Khan

Where Muslim voices rise, bridges are built, and history’s unsung heroines reclaim their light.

Dr. Daisy Khan, through this podcast, 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 the East and the West—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 pages—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 podcast—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.
