Takeaways
Shame, fear, and Islamophobia are interconnected and perpetuate systems of oppression.
Recognizing the humanity of individuals is crucial in dismantling these systems.
Using our voices and platforms to bring awareness to social justice issues is important.
Untethering ourselves from shame is necessary for personal and collective liberation. Social media has given marginalized communities a powerful platform to share their experiences and challenge dominant narratives.
Academic credentials often come with privilege and can grant individuals access to mainstream media platforms, even if they lack direct experience or understanding of the communities they speak about.
Finding balance and practicing self-care is essential for sustaining activism and making a meaningful impact.
Authentic activism requires going beyond performative actions and engaging in deep reflection and understanding of the issues at hand.
Marketing plays a significant role in perpetuating stereotypes and Islamophobia, and it is important to challenge and dismantle these narratives.
Creating space for marginalized voices and supporting women in their journeys of self-discovery and empowerment can have a ripple effect in creating positive change.
