About this listen

What is it that you're really going to remember? Is it the jobs you worked? Or the money you spent. No. It's the community you built. This podcast is meant to focus on spotlighting different community spaces that usually focus on ethnic and/or Muslim spaces in and around NYC and the world. We want to explore creative spaces that might be community centers, art showcases, coffee shops, and more. Let's stay informed. Let's catch up on news that is relevant to our identities. Let's chat. Let's laugh. Let's create community.
