18. Huma Abedin on Shame Culture, The American Ideal, Active Participation, and More

Noor Tagouri in conversation with Huma Abedin on Shame Culture, The American Ideal, Active Participation, and More. ⠀  You may know Huma as the person who has been Hilary Clinton’s right hand, arm, and more, since 1996. And/Or maybe you know her from headlines relating to her former husband and then US representative Anthony Weiner and his sexting scandals. But in the following storytelling session we are being reintroduced to Huma Abedin: ⠀  A mother, adventurer, writer, someone who enjoys talking to strangers and talking about her faith as a Muslim woman. ⠀  Huma is a BTS kinda person. And while we get deeply into faith, controversial politics, mental health and the problem around asking people “why they stay?” in harmful relationships — the intention of this conversation is rooted in openness, reflections, and story. ⠀  As Huma says about why she decided to now take a center stage: “If you let someone else tell your story they are writing your history.” ⠀  Welcome to this episode of podcast Noor. ⠀  As always, at your service. ⠀  Follow Huma: www.instagram.com/humaabedin ⠀  Support Huma’s Book “Both/And”  https://www.huma-abedin.com/#page-section-6167648b59a8cf7edeb47983 ⠀  Follow Noor:  www.instagram.com/noor  www.tiktok.com/@noor⠀  More Podcast Noor: www.noortagouri.com/podcastnoor ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
