Growing up in a secular household, Fariha Naqvi wasn't particularly interested in the Muslim religion. Though her parents had been raised in the faith, they no longer practiced and didn't insist that their children followed the religion either. It was only when Fariha was in her last year of high school that she became more intrigued with the faith after meeting a group of strong and inspiring Muslim women. Today, Fariha is an outspoken defender of her faith as well as a journalist who writes about politics, religion, culture and the intersection of all three.
On this episode of the Parenting Then and Now podcast, Sam sits down with Fariha to discuss her childhood, how she's raising her son and daughter in comparison, and her thoughts on representation and religion in society today.
