Tell me More with Jehan

Twenty-five years after 9/11, what do we remember—and what have we been taught to forget?We remember the lives lost on September 11. But we also have to remember what followed: wars, surveillance, detention, displacement, Islamophobia, anti-Arab racism, and the devastating human cost of the War of Terror.For many Arabs and Muslims, 9/11 was not simply a moment in history. It changed how we were seen, how we were treated, and how we learned to move through the world.Twenty-five years later, remembering means holding more than one truth at a time. It means honoring the lives lost while also reckoning with the lives lost afterward.This episode asks us to look back honestly—not to reopen wounds, but to understand how we got here.Listen to “25 Years Later: What We Remember, What We Refuse to Forget” on Tell Me More with Jehan.If you’re ready to sit with the uncomfortable parts of our history, listen—and tell me more.

🎙️ SOLO EPISODE | It’s Never Too Late to ChangeWhat happens when you realize you were wrong?Maybe you held racist beliefs, participated in anti-Blackness, believed stereotypes, or simply didn’t question what you were taught.Maybe Gaza pushed you to ask new questions about U.S. foreign policy, media, power, and whose humanity we’re taught to value.This episode is about unlearning, accountability, and doing better once we know better.Bias doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Decades of media narratives, systemic racism, historical erasure, anti-Blackness, anti-Muslim bias, and foreign policy have shaped how we see entire communities. But what is learned can be unlearned.I’ll unpack more of these issues in future solo episodes—ranting, reflecting, and asking questions alongside you.🎙️ Tell Me More with Jehan: Stories That Build UnderstandingNew episodes 1st & 3rd Fridays — one guest, one solo.Follow: @tellmemorewithjehan_podcast🌐 jehanhakim.comKnowing better isn’t the finish line.
