Episode 25 - Muslim Women and their HistoryThis week, Kelsie and Brooke chat about research into the wellness of Muslim-American immigrant children, and Kelsie shares some of her conversation with Dr. Suzan Al Abidi, an old friend. Abidi's 2018 study showed that Muslim mothers play an important role in helping children navigate difficult "cultural friction" and that girls have a unique experience which can keep them from getting the full educational experience, especially in PE. Abidi made one request: that people learn a bit more about Islam, so for the second half-- Kelsie and Brooke talked about important women in the founding of Islam. As always-- there's a lesson plan available.
