Saturday People, Sunday People, and the Fight Against Extremism

Adela and Mariam come together in this special episode of Americanish to discuss the aftermath of Hamas's October 7th attack, highlighting Mariam's voice as a Coptic Christian and Adela's experience as a Jew on campus.

Food & Faith: Our relationship to food influenced by religion and tradition

Food is tied to faith (as well as something both Mariam and Adela are passionate about!) and passed down by tradition through many generations. From Coptic fasts to kosher restaurants, we explore our relationship with food through the lens of our respective faiths.
