Dear Humans,
We’ve been lucky to speak with guests recently who are bringing much needed hope into our lives, and today’s God Pod guest is no different: Journalist and author Aymann Ismail!
In our latest God Pod, Aymann tells us how he felt the need to pivot into a bright personality after 9/11 happened while he was just a river away in Newark, New Jersey.
We also discuss:
-
Aymann’s new book Becoming Baba, which is about fatherhood and identity.
-
His journey from aspiring filmmaker to Slate journalist
-
Aymann’s thoughts on Zohran Mamdani, and what it was like to spend a day with the fast-rising political star.
-
Aymann’s surreal experience reporting during the Jan 6 Capitol riot.
-
Muslim American identity post-9/11.
-
The power of “smile and pivot” in combating Islamophobia.
-
God’s history with losing a fight to Jacob, and how God wants to change his image.
