S2 Ep#10: Women’s Day Special | Two women, two generations: how a mother and daughter became each other’s strongest ally

When we talk about mothers and their teenage daughters, we think of typical tropes: the constant arguments, the difference in world views, and diametrically opposite opinions. But what if it doesn’t have to be that way? What if mothers and daughters sat down to listen to what the other has to say? What if, they could become each other’s strongest allies? This Women’s Day join us as we talk to mother-daughter duo Abiha and Madiah Syed as they share how they made a conscious effort to overcome their differences,  what Women’s Day means to each generation, what they admire about each other, and what they each believe will truly empower women. Abiha Syed is the Co-Chair and founding member of the Muslim Women of Cambridge, a nonprofit dedicated to bridging intercommunity dialog and engagement. Madiha Syed is her 18-year-old daughter, who is studying architecture at the University of Toronto You can check out the Muslim Women of Cambridge on mwcambridge.net or follow them on Facebook and Instagram @mwcmuslimwomenofcambridge Do send in your comments or feedback about this episode by tweeting them to @acrosshertable or e-mailing them at [email protected]  or send us a voice message at http://www.anchor.fm/acrosshertable/message Don't forget to follow Across Her Table on Instagram @acrosshertable (https://www.instagram.com/acrosshertable) Music credit: Oh My - Patrick Patrikios , Santa Teresa - Patiño
