Unlearning with Anikah

Send us Fan MailAnikah was raised in Bangladesh and met her boyfriend Charlie who is Jewish when she moved to the US for college. She talks about navigating a Muslim/Jewish relationship, not wanting to have kids, introducing Charlie to her culture, and creating new norms in a new environment. We dive into different religions and the pressure to convert from families. We get into how to "unlearn" some of the ideas that no longer serve us, discuss relationships with in-laws, and trying to find a happy balance between the life we want and the one expected of us.
