Our hosts explore Hulu's reality dating show "Muslim Matchmaker," discussing how it portrays Muslim dating culture and the matchmakers' "rules of three" hook. Learn about the diverse representation of the Muslim community, and hear Hazem Jamal and Najwa's personal connections to cast members. In a world where DEI is criminalized, a show with representation is cutting through while providing a refreshing alternative to mainstream dating reality TV.
About the host:
Hazem Jamal is a first-generation Iraqi-American who worked in as a programming exec in American radio for many years.
Hazem founded Arabs in Media to offer an independent platform for new stories, information and entertainment missing in corporate media.
