Can You Be a Bad Girl and a Good Muslim?

Ola amigo!Why Spanish?No reason. It’s a vibe. I guess…As I write this, I’m listening to an acapella Disney medley…for no reason in particular.In this episode, I’m easing back into season 2 (or 3) of ‘Yoruba Igbo Muslimah’ (the old title for this podcast). I get into the Senegalese web series Salma…which you MUST watch!Search “Salma serie Senegalaise” in YouTube and you’ll find it. Actually, just take the link: You’re welcome.Seeing Muslim women on screen means so much to me. And the titular character, Salma is the “bad girl, good Muslim” that many of us were or are. Even just typing “bad girl, good Muslim” makes me wonder if that’s really what it is. Shouldn’t it be “bad girl trying to be a good Muslim?” But I’m curious what you think, can you be a bad girl and a good Muslim?I’ll start adding time stamps to these episodes. Not sure if they’ll help if you’re not listening on a traditional podcast app, but let me know if they’re helpful.
