The Death Of Cancel Culture Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

In this week's episode, we discuss the art of tipping in the service/food industry and how we got called out for not tipping at a sushi restaurant. Do you tip your server, regardless of how well the service is?

We also discuss whether we should be cancelling "cancel culture" -- should we punish celebrities/influencers for something they did/tweeted 5+ years ago? Why don't we allow people to redeem themselves?

Amir also explains the difference between Marvel and DC characters to Sara...and anyone else if y'all didn't know!

TMI: Do Not Listen To This Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

Hey cousins...clearly the reverse psychology worked and you clicked on this episode! When we recorded this week’s episode, it sounded like a good idea at first but we might have just committed social suicide! These are the types of convos we REALLY have offline. We hope you found some humour in the stories we shared and can maybe relate? IBS anyone? Thank you for listening! Follow us on IG: @cousinconnectionpod @amirwastaken @alisara__

Are You Body Positive? Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

This week's episode covers the Body Positivity movement that is super popular at the moment. Now we are all for body positivity, HOWEVER we do not agree with shaming someone who chooses to lose weight for their own reasons.

We discuss our experiences with body dysmorphia and how family pressures, society pressures and social media has contributed to this.

We got our girl Nabat back for another episode to share her thoughts on this topic as well!

Hijabi Chronicles Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

In today’s episode, we’re discussing what it’s like to be a hijabi in the society we’re currently in. We got into a real good discussion about the haram police and how to properly advice your Muslim sisters (and brothers!) on social media. And of course we did all this with the help of a special guest, our long time bestie - Nabat!

We'd love to hear your thoughts on our topic - you know what to do, slide in our DMs ;)

The Tragedy Olympics Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

Another week, another podcast!

In this week's episode, we asked ourselves why we choose to focus on certain world issues over the other. Does it reeeally matter if your fave celeb posts about a global issue that you are passionate about? Are you a bad person if you choose not to post about Palestine? BLM? Uyghur Muslims? The Ethiopia-Tigray Conflict? Yemen? The War on the Middle East? ...and that's just to name a few. How is it possible to be educated about every single issue that is taking place on this Earth and to maintain your mental health AND educate your social media following?

We'd love to know how you feel about this topic, please join in on the conversation and tell us your thoughts via Instagram: @cousinconnectionpod
