DEENTOUR 01 - Pilot (Growing Up Black and Muslim in America)

We start this critical first episode off by talking about the stigma of being muslim black males in the West and what came with that. We talk about struggles we may have had, how we dealt with them, and tell stories that we believe our audience can relate to.

Keeping our theme of the episode that Allah (SWT) is always with us was vital because that connection is of the utmost importance to us and talking/dealing with these things.

We also spoke about our transitions in school, difficulties we notice today, being humble and grateful, and our connections with people vs. Allah.
