“You plan And God laughs.” That’s something I heard yesterday from a young lady who allowed my Studio team to use a room at her POC owned co-working space in Oakland. I was explaining to her that I was supposed to have an episode out by now, but that the pitch we just gave at that meeting went incredibly well, and the work load is about to sky rocket. Good news is that we are getting closer to the dream of our own office space, hiring audio and video editors, and making the dream of our studio a reality.

I explain a little about what’s transpired this week, play a clip from our patron-only podcast, and end with a clip of Amir Sulaiman from the 10 hours of recording I did with him this week. Next week will be a proper episode with him about our day together.

This week’s episode is a look at the hidden treasure of children, and trying to see the world from their eyes.

Unless we are parents ourselves, we rarely hear the voices of children, let alone spend the day with them. This is a look inside the challenge of being a working mother and the beauty that can emerge when people from the community respond with their hearts and limbs.

Produced by Imran Ali Malik

Featuring Kari Rott, Asma Saud, Safiya, and Umar.

This week we meet Adam, and we learn what it means to be a spiritual brother to someone, and listen to the journey of two friends on the path. Later they meet up with a teacher of theirs, Shaykh Adeyinke Mendes, before Imran has to rush to the airport to fly back to California.
