Episode 27: This Christmas (ft. Hind Makki)
It’s the last episode of the season! This Christmas we get real about interfaith cooperation with anti-racism and interfaith educator, Hind Makki. Our big question: Is it possible to do interfaith collaboration without centering and appealing to whiteness?
We also share our best and worst of 2017.

She is the founder of “Side Entrance,” an award-winning website that documents women’s prayer experiences in mosques around the world.
