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
  • Dealing with school events, holidays, and activities that conflict with Islamic teachings
  • Building confidence in Muslim identity without creating social isolation
  • The mental toll on parents trying to balance tradition with integration

 Real Parent Dilemmas We Address:

  • Social media boundaries that actually work in 2025
  • Creating Islamic household rules that don't push kids away
  • Culture vs Islam when it comes to parenting

 From Our Community:

Featuring honest perspectives from Muslim parents across Metro Detroit, including those who've successfully raised confident Muslim adults and others still figuring it out. No judgment, just real talk about what works and what doesn't.

 Perfect For:

Muslim parents feeling overwhelmed, community leaders supporting families, educators working with Muslim students, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and modern parenting.

This isn't about perfect solutions - it's about supporting each other through the beautiful mess of raising Muslim children in America. Because at the end of the day, we're all just trying to raise kids who are proud of their faith and confident in their identity.
