Today’s episode is a little different, because I’m not alone. I sat down with the legendary Aussie Niqabi - Alexis: Campbelltown-born, single mum of three, founder of eco-business The Bin Chicken, and the woman who’s been making waves (and causing trolls to melt down) on TikTok with her niqab and razor-sharp Aussie humour.

But behind the viral videos? There’s a deeper story: a promise to Allah SWT after a brutal custody battle, a life of balancing faith and family, and the reality of facing Islamophobia in Australia - sometimes funny, sometimes scary.

👉 Important note: This conversation originally ran almost 2 hours, and has been edited to the best bits. You may also hear her adorable 10-month-old baby in the background, because #MumLife never stops, and there are a few moments where the audio isn’t perfect. But this conversation was too important not to share.

We talk about: ✅ Choosing to wear the niqab in Australia ✅ Facing Islamophobia in everyday life (and Kmart!) ✅ Navigating co-parenting with a non-Muslim ✅ Building community on TikTok ✅ Balancing faith and culture ✅ Dismantling stereotypes about Muslim women

🎧 Whether you’re a revert, a Muslim mum, or just curious about life behind the niqab, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
