Don't @ Your Hooyo
Don’t @ Your Hooyo is a podcast by Amina [pseudonym] about identity, faith and becoming yourself in cultures where those conversations aren’t always welcome. Through honest reflection and cultural nuance, the show explores breaking generational patterns, navigating expectations and saying the quiet stuff out loud. Created primarily for Somalis in the diaspora raised Muslim and those who are questioning, with care, humor and intention. New epsidoes bi-monthly.
