About this listen

Being the only brown girl and hijabi at school was never going to be easy - except it became one of my biggest battles in my self-worth journey. From being bullied over my skin colour to finally seeing my worth, this has been a tough ride through which I hope to share some key learnings that helped me along the way. Get ready my friend, episode 6 is going to be a deep one. Things you will need: a quiet space, a notebook, a pen, maybe some bubble tea :) Things we will let go of together: worrying about what people think, negative self-talk and limiting beliefs. Throughout this piece, I have inserted quiet moments where you can use the journaling prompts to reflect on your own childhood experiences and how they have shaped you as an adult. What I hope to give you is an opportunity to make a promise to yourself and have an appreciation of how far you've come. Trigger warning: I go into depth about the emotional impact of experiencing racism and Islamophobia at a young age. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, then perhaps this is not the episode for you. Resource round-up: 1) Islamophobia Awareness Month - https://www.islamophobia-awareness.org/resources/ 2) Young Minds - https://www.youngminds.org.uk/young-person/coping-with-life/islamophobia-and-mental-health/ 3) Show Racism the Red Card - https://www.theredcard.org/ 4) Stop Hate UK - https://www.stophateuk.org/
