"content": "\u003cp>Over dinner recently, a friend of mine, fresh out of a long-term relationship, asked if I could show her how dating apps worked. Halfway through my mini-tutorial of the two on my phone, Tinder and Hinge, she paused and asked an entirely serious question: \"Why are all of these men standing on or next to mountains?\" We swiped for another few minutes, only to find her initial assessment was true for the vast majority of profiles. After our laughing finally stopped, she asked: \"Can I even be on this app if I'm never up a mountain?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've heard plenty of jokes about gym, bathroom mirror and car selfies over the years (and when I lived in Texas, there were plenty of gun-toting pics to make fun of too), but the innocuous mountain selfie was one that I hadn't previously noticed—probably because of its generally inoffensive nature. Now I can't un-see it. Sometimes, it's obvious where they are—Machu Picchu, the White Cliffs of Dover, the edge of the Grand Canyon, somewhere in Japan where Mount Fuji is visible in the distance—but it seems that, these days, dramatic and rugged environs are the go-to backdrop for single men everywhere. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, \u003cem>Medium\u003c/em> published an article titled \"\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@dinewithco/5-things-men-get-wrong-on-dating-apps-71d02369aaf5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Things Men Get Wrong On Dating Apps\u003c/a>.\" It advised daters that \"the second photo [on a profile] should be a picture of you in action or doing something you love. This could be hiking, fishing, running a marathon, bowling, etc., or just doing one of your hobbies. Having a picture of you doing an activity shows you off in your natural element. It tells women that you like to get out and live life. It sends the message that you do things, have hobbies. It also reflects that you have a passion and that you’re not the boring type who likes to just stay home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pride.com also recently encouraged the trend, calling the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.pride.com/lovesex/2019/3/16/15-profile-pictures-youve-definitely-encountered-dating-apps#media-gallery-media-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I Hiked to the Top of This Mountain!\u003c/a>\" profile photo \"an excellent opportunity to be shirtless and not look so douchey.\" Further backup comes via research done by eHarmony Australia, which found that, of the top ten \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.eharmony.com.au/dating-advice/dating/the-hobbies-and-interests-most-likely-to-score-you-a-date#.XSzzx2RKj3A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most attractive interests for men to list in their profile\u003c/a>,\" travel and exercise came in at number two and three respectively. Politics was number one, so pretty much the only way to improve on that mountain selfie would be by adding a woke slogan T-shirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/10/17/17979806/travel-dating-tinder-bumble-hinge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Vox\u003c/em> suggests\u003c/a> the spike in hiking pics is not as contrived as all that, saying: \"When people are doing things like 'trekking around Iceland,' that’s when they feel the most sexy, interesting, and fun... Ultimately, everyone wants that euphoric couples vacation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible, of course, that these photos may simply be a modern manifestation of the oldest evolutionary theories about heterosexual attraction. \u003ca href=\"https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2017.1819\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A 2017 paper\u003c/a> published by \u003cem>The Royal Society\u003c/em> confirmed that men's \"physical strength was assessed as more attractive [to women in their teens and early 20s] in virtually all our subjects.\" The research also found that: \"Ratings of strength are a robust and much larger predictor of attractiveness than either height or weight.\" In other words, the heterosexual women polled were more likely to be attracted to how strong a man appeared to be, rather than specific physical characteristics. Proving you can get to the top of a mountain is about the most efficient shorthand to convey that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, all genders and sexualities are prone to falling into cliché territory when it comes to profile pics. For women, the closest equivalent to the mountain photo seems to be posing in or next to bodies of water, or swimming pools. (Amazingly, a few years ago, there were also several \u003ca href=\"https://www.glamour.com/story/dating-app-profile-photos-best-worst\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports\u003c/a> that wearing fake mustaches had become one of the most hackneyed photos for straight women, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/28/tinder-romance-cliches-profile-pics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em> pondering\u003c/a>: \"Has everyone taken a seminar in What Would Zooey Deschanel Do?\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dating in the modern age—with its heavy reliance on apps and their inherently abbreviated depictions of our personalities—is undoubtedly tough on singles everywhere. And while banal photos are easy to make fun of, research suggests that they're common for a reason—they work. So while the likes of \u003ca href=\"https://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/the-5-dating-app-photos-women-are-sick-of-seeing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AskMen.com have mocked\u003c/a> mountain men everywhere, saying \"Standing in nature, arms outstretched, eyes gazing to the heavens is perfect if you’re the lead singer of Creed,\" all anyone can do is our best. And if that means climbing a mountain or going for a swim once in a while? So be it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Proving you can get to the top of a mountain is about the most efficient shorthand to convey that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, all genders and sexualities are prone to falling into cliché territory when it comes to profile pics. For women, the closest equivalent to the mountain photo seems to be posing in or next to bodies of water, or swimming pools. (Amazingly, a few years ago, there were also several \u003ca href=\"https://www.glamour.com/story/dating-app-profile-photos-best-worst\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports\u003c/a> that wearing fake mustaches had become one of the most hackneyed photos for straight women, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/28/tinder-romance-cliches-profile-pics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em> pondering\u003c/a>: \"Has everyone taken a seminar in What Would Zooey Deschanel Do?\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dating in the modern age—with its heavy reliance on apps and their inherently abbreviated depictions of our personalities—is undoubtedly tough on singles everywhere. And while banal photos are easy to make fun of, research suggests that they're common for a reason—they work. So while the likes of \u003ca href=\"https://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/the-5-dating-app-photos-women-are-sick-of-seeing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AskMen.com have mocked\u003c/a> mountain men everywhere, saying \"Standing in nature, arms outstretched, eyes gazing to the heavens is perfect if you’re the lead singer of Creed,\" all anyone can do is our best. And if that means climbing a mountain or going for a swim once in a while? So be it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Since it dropped in April, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/718208340/lil-nas-x\">Lil Nas X\u003c/a>'s \"Old Town Road\" has been an inescapable hit. The song's massive blow-up is at least partially thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/28/717970491/tiktok-explained\">TikTok\u003c/a>: the social media platform that launches viral stars 15 seconds at a time, and what writer Alyssa Bereznak called the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theringer.com/tech/2019/6/27/18760004/tiktok-old-town-road-memes-music-industry\">future of the music industry\u003c/a>\" in a recent article for \u003cem>The Ringer\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2Ov5jzm3j8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TikTok, which has hundreds of millions of users and is especially popular among teenagers and young adults, is driven by machine learning and, as Bereznak explained to NPR's Audie Cornish, viral \"challenges,\" often based around music. Using the mobile app, TikTok users watch and post 15-second videos that incorporate and respond to a piece of a song; for instance, in the \"Old Town Road\" challenge, video-makers suddenly appear in cowboy gear the moment the beat kicks in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other up-and-coming artists have also found a foothold in TikTok's format. In videos set to the first 15 seconds of Supa Dupa Humble's song \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UTMTgVooe0\">Steppin\u003c/a>,\" users play along with the repeated opening lyric \"I don't know\" until they arrive at a visual punchline. Blanco Brown's TikTok hit, \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN8vY8qkgVs\">The Git Up\u003c/a>,\" is a country trap-song with dance instructions (in the vein of \"Cha Cha Slide\" or \"Macarena\") for lyrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the users are looking for high drama in a short amount of time,\" Bereznak says. \"You know, you only have 15 seconds to make your video compelling—so that lends itself really well to bubblegum-pop music, and to trap music, which often has really intense mood shifts or beat drops.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=05_SZfB1qNg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While TikTok users are crafting their videos to fit the punchy songs spreading on the platform, musicians are also tailoring their songs to suit the format.

The song's massive blow-up is at least partially thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/28/717970491/tiktok-explained\">TikTok\u003c/a>: the social media platform that launches viral stars 15 seconds at a time, and what writer Alyssa Bereznak called the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theringer.com/tech/2019/6/27/18760004/tiktok-old-town-road-memes-music-industry\">future of the music industry\u003c/a>\" in a recent article for \u003cem>The Ringer\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/w2Ov5jzm3j8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/w2Ov5jzm3j8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>TikTok, which has hundreds of millions of users and is especially popular among teenagers and young adults, is driven by machine learning and, as Bereznak explained to NPR's Audie Cornish, viral \"challenges,\" often based around music. Using the mobile app, TikTok users watch and post 15-second videos that incorporate and respond to a piece of a song; for instance, in the \"Old Town Road\" challenge, video-makers suddenly appear in cowboy gear the moment the beat kicks in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other up-and-coming artists have also found a foothold in TikTok's format. In videos set to the first 15 seconds of Supa Dupa Humble's song \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UTMTgVooe0\">Steppin\u003c/a>,\" users play along with the repeated opening lyric \"I don't know\" until they arrive at a visual punchline. Blanco Brown's TikTok hit, \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN8vY8qkgVs\">The Git Up\u003c/a>,\" is a country trap-song with dance instructions (in the vein of \"Cha Cha Slide\" or \"Macarena\") for lyrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the users are looking for high drama in a short amount of time,\" Bereznak says. \"You know, you only have 15 seconds to make your video compelling—so that lends itself really well to bubblegum-pop music, and to trap music, which often has really intense mood shifts or beat drops.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kim Kardashian, perhaps the most recognizable name in influencing, has more than 140 million Instagram followers and reportedly gets paid \u003ca href=\"https://www.maxim.com/news/kim-kardashian-makes-1-million-per-instagram-post-2019-5\">up to $1 million per post\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Altman is part of a growing trend of \"micro-influencers.\" She has a small following—around 6,000 on Instagram. Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something, which makes her much more affordable than a Kardashian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Altman does some posts in exchange for free goods, she says, as long as it's stuff she believes in. All this hasn't stopped her from working with major companies like Verizon or Walgreens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman says that as a micro-influencer she has a much more intimate relationship with her followers than a big social media star.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm just living a normal life and people relate to that,\" she says. \"They just feel like I'm a friend of theirs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it works, says Bonnie Patten, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.truthinadvertising.org/\">Truth In Advertising\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that focuses on protecting consumers from deceptive ads and marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consumers are very apt to buy things that they see being promoted on social media—especially by people they feel they have some authentic natural connection with,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this intimate relationship worries Patten and consumer rights groups.

The motivations are not so clear cut. \"The problem with a lot of these social media posts is that you don't know whether it's an ad or not,\" Patten says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants transparency in social media advertising. Whether it's that nutritional shake, or that tooth whitener that will make you look like a Cheshire Cat, Patten wants influencers to be clear that they are getting paid to recommend it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, consumer advocates say the buck stops with the Federal Trade Commission. But several watchdog groups say the agency has done little in terms of enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are laws that say what influencers and companies can and cannot do,\" Patten says. \"Unfortunately, the FTC does not have the resources to police social media platforms to the extent necessary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An FTC spokesperson referred us to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking\">the agency's guidelines\u003c/a>, which say if people are getting paid to promote, \"then a disclosure is appropriate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BunFo8fnjwX/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman is diligent about using those hashtags. She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn't necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don't think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand,\" Altman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many, the very idea of everyday people becoming brands sounds like some nightmare capitalist dystopia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saleem Alhabash, who teaches public relations and social media at Michigan State University, says there are bigger implications to this. When the lines between what is real life and what is marketing get blurred, it changes people's behaviors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You always need to be doing something exciting,\" Alhabash says. \"Taking pictures of your food, taking pictures of the sunset.

"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>In a media landscape that can still be pretty awful for Muslims, \u003ca href=\"https://tell-them-i-am.scpr.org/\">\u003cem>Tell Them, I Am\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a new podcast from KPCC, aims to give Muslims a space to define their own identities outside of stereotypes and broad generalizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of the series, host and producer Misha Euceph interviewed 22 people, all Muslims, about the defining moments of their lives. While the show dropped episodes every weekday of Ramadan, \u003cem>Tell Them, I Am\u003c/em> doesn't really have anything to do with the holiday. \"If somebody released something during Christmas time or during Hanukkah,\" Euceph says, \"they wouldn't necessarily be asked about like, what are important aspects of Christmas or Hanukkah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's in each guest's hands how much they want to talk about culture or religion; for some it's a central part of their story, for others it's mostly incidental. Tan France of Queer Eye \u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC4654190347\">talks about\u003c/a> his first big \"I told you so,\" which involved his older brother and a metal fan. Ramy Youssef, creator of the Hulu show \u003cem>Ramy\u003c/em>, \u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC9282014844\">talks about\u003c/a> the medical condition that catalyzed his acting career. Alia Shawkat \u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC6837056702\">talks about\u003c/a> the extremes of her stoner-y teenage rebellion, including borrowing urine to cheat a drug test (Spoiler: It didn't work).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And every episode of the podcast offers glimpses into Euceph's story: the fashion she endured to be more popular in middle school; the glamour she didn't quite inherit from her mother; the drive to prove people wrong that sent her up actual mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for \u003cem>Tell Them, I Am\u003c/em> has been brewing in Euceph's head for at least a decade, maybe longer. She says that when she moved to the U.S. from Pakistan in 2003, being Muslim went from the default to a label that eclipsed her entire identity. The name of the show is about transcending that—it comes from a story in the Bible, where God responds to the question, \"Who are you?\" by saying, \"You can tell them that I am 'I am.'\" Not a name, not a category, simply, \"I am.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We called up Euceph to ask about the highlights of her interviews—our interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There's been a lot in the media recently about Muslims observing Ramadan, whether it's Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/21/725308102/muslim-lawmakers-host-ramadan-feast-at-capitol\">\u003cstrong>breaking the fast at the Capitol\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> with other lawmakers, or Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/09/enes-kanter-when-ramadan-nba-playoffs-collide-my-faith-is-my-strength/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f34ee5c5b8c7\">\u003cstrong>fasting through the height of the NBA playoffs\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>. These stories often focus on the challenges and spirituality of fasting. But is there anything deeper about Ramadan that people miss? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If somebody released something during Christmas time or during Hanukkah, they wouldn't necessarily be asked about like, what are important aspects of Christmas or Hanukkah. The way people often ask about Ramadan, it kinda goes to like, Islam 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We release this podcast during Ramadan because it's a time of community, and a lot of coverage is being focused on Muslims in that way, where there's this Ramadan 101 going on. But there's also like, \"What is a Muslim?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think education about what it means to be Muslim and the rituals of being Muslim is one thing, but there's so much to Muslims beyond that. And so many Muslims are not even necessarily fasting during Ramadan, but they are experiencing some form of community that's different. And so I think just allowing them to exist outside of just those rituals and those Orthodox practices that we commonly associate with Muslims, and allowing them to be culturally Muslim and allowing them to tell their stories outside of those boxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In the \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC9167622305\">\u003cstrong>first episode\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> of your podcast, you talk about how there's only a few very specific ways that Muslims are depicted, but there aren't ever really times where they're shown as just normal. They're very much \"othered.\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah. For example, it's interesting to me that like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are these congresswomen who are in positions of power, and they're doing things that are actually very much traditional. Like they're showing Muslims breaking their fast or they're like introducing people to like \"Oh, like this is what it means to be a Muslim.\" But there are also other aspects of Muslim culture that are a little bit deeper toned. There's a lot of Muslim music and Muslim art and I think there is so much more of that that could actually have more impact than educating people on what Ramadan means. No one else is going to fast to try to understand what it means to be Muslim, right? But people can see Muslim art or listen to Muslim music, even if they're not Muslim, and be impacted by it in the same way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so if there's something I want from people who are Muslim who are in positions of power, it's to get a little bit more nuanced. Because they are not thinking about the 101 aspect of being Muslim 24/7, so why are we dumbing it down for the general public? I think we actually will have a greater impact if we go a couple layers deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there a moment you had while you were recording this show that you find especially powerful or memorable?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The [interview with \u003ca href=\"https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/tellthemiam?selected=KPC4117929019\">Deana Haggag\u003c/a>, CEO of the arts funding organization United States Artists] literally blew me away. I knew she was going to talk about taking her dad to this DIY Art Space in New Jersey. I had no idea the way that she was going to frame it as this emotional and mental switch where she had been thinking that she was running away from her culture by pursuing the arts, and then she realized that the arts were actually inherently part of everything in her culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112234\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112234\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/06/deanna_haggag__sq-18dfe5d20af073a67a1b6d80e5a98cd8ea9a8680.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of Deana Haggag.\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/06/deanna_haggag__sq-18dfe5d20af073a67a1b6d80e5a98cd8ea9a8680.jpg 200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/06/deanna_haggag__sq-18dfe5d20af073a67a1b6d80e5a98cd8ea9a8680-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Illustration of Deana Haggag. \u003ccite>(Emmen Ahmed/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Like, she says everything down to our religion is in song, everything is dance and the country Egypt is a museum. And by institutionalizing art, she was doing something that was foreign to her parents because art was so much a part of their lives. Listening to her I was like, \"Oh my God. That's exactly the struggle that I have had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I related so deeply but I had never been able to articulate it in that way. My parents would recite Urdu poetry at the dinner table back and forth to each other, or in the car on a road trip we would listen to Sufi classical music. My dad does Islamic calligraphy in wood and leather as a hobby. These are things that are just deeply a part of my life. Colors and aesthetic and music and how we dress and look—all those things are such a part of who I am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The show centers Muslim voices, but the stories aren't centered around being Muslim. How do you explain that to your interview subjects so that they understand what you're going for?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were just like, we don't want to pigeonhole you. We don't want to ask you about that aspect of your identity. We want \u003cem>you \u003c/em>to figure out a defining moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think most of the people who ended up being guests on this show, they kind of got it right away, even if it took them a moment to figure out what that moment was in their life. But basically, what we would say is, \u003cem>\"Listen, you've probably always been asked about being Muslim and blah blah blah.\"\u003c/em> Some of our queer Muslim guests were like, \"Oh my God, thank God you're not asking me about the gay Muslim thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're really trying to move beyond the surface level of people's stories. How do you get that kind of vulnerability out of people?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's a wonder what listening can do. I try to mostly just stay quiet and stay out of the story and the interview process as much as possible....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when your interviewer is with somebody who's Muslim, who's also been pigeonholed, and who can relate to your experience I think maybe there's a little bit more of a comfort level there. You're willing to go to places where you wouldn't with another interviewer who doesn't know anything about your experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think a lot of times Muslims are called to respond to certain things in the media and they don't have control over their own narrative. And this simple act of not deciding ahead of time what the story is, but rather letting your guests dictate the story, gives them power to define their narrative again and to lead with their story rather than their label. Like you don't have to be a woman or brown or Muslim or all these other things that carry so much baggage and connotation, but instead they can be what it is that they want to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

While the show dropped episodes every weekday of Ramadan, \u003cem>Tell Them, I Am\u003c/em> doesn't really have anything to do with the holiday. \"If somebody released something during Christmas time or during Hanukkah,\" Euceph says, \"they wouldn't necessarily be asked about like, what are important aspects of Christmas or Hanukkah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's in each guest's hands how much they want to talk about culture or religion; for some it's a central part of their story, for others it's mostly incidental. Tan France of Queer Eye \u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC4654190347\">talks about\u003c/a> his first big \"I told you so,\" which involved his older brother and a metal fan. Ramy Youssef, creator of the Hulu show \u003cem>Ramy\u003c/em>, \u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC9282014844\">talks about\u003c/a> the medical condition that catalyzed his acting career. Alia Shawkat \u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC6837056702\">talks about\u003c/a> the extremes of her stoner-y teenage rebellion, including borrowing urine to cheat a drug test (Spoiler: It didn't work).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And every episode of the podcast offers glimpses into Euceph's story: the fashion she endured to be more popular in middle school; the glamour she didn't quite inherit from her mother; the drive to prove people wrong that sent her up actual mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for \u003cem>Tell Them, I Am\u003c/em> has been brewing in Euceph's head for at least a decade, maybe longer. She says that when she moved to the U.S. from Pakistan in 2003, being Muslim went from the default to a label that eclipsed her entire identity. The name of the show is about transcending that—it comes from a story in the Bible, where God responds to the question, \"Who are you?\" by saying, \"You can tell them that I am 'I am.'\" Not a name, not a category, simply, \"I am.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/21/725308102/muslim-lawmakers-host-ramadan-feast-at-capitol\">\u003cstrong>breaking the fast at the Capitol\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> with other lawmakers, or Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/09/enes-kanter-when-ramadan-nba-playoffs-collide-my-faith-is-my-strength/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f34ee5c5b8c7\">\u003cstrong>fasting through the height of the NBA playoffs\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>. These stories often focus on the challenges and spirituality of fasting. But is there anything deeper about Ramadan that people miss? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If somebody released something during Christmas time or during Hanukkah, they wouldn't necessarily be asked about like, what are important aspects of Christmas or Hanukkah. The way people often ask about Ramadan, it kinda goes to like, Islam 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We release this podcast during Ramadan because it's a time of community, and a lot of coverage is being focused on Muslims in that way, where there's this Ramadan 101 going on. But there's also like, \"What is a Muslim?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think education about what it means to be Muslim and the rituals of being Muslim is one thing, but there's so much to Muslims beyond that. And so many Muslims are not even necessarily fasting during Ramadan, but they are experiencing some form of community that's different. And so I think just allowing them to exist outside of just those rituals and those Orthodox practices that we commonly associate with Muslims, and allowing them to be culturally Muslim and allowing them to tell their stories outside of those boxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In the \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://megaphone.link/KPC9167622305\">\u003cstrong>first episode\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> of your podcast, you talk about how there's only a few very specific ways that Muslims are depicted, but there aren't ever really times where they're shown as just normal. They're very much \"othered.\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah. For example, it's interesting to me that like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are these congresswomen who are in positions of power, and they're doing things that are actually very much traditional. Like they're showing Muslims breaking their fast or they're like introducing people to like \"Oh, like this is what it means to be a Muslim.\" But there are also other aspects of Muslim culture that are a little bit deeper toned. There's a lot of Muslim music and Muslim art and I think there is so much more of that that could actually have more impact than educating people on what Ramadan means. No one else is going to fast to try to understand what it means to be Muslim, right? But people can see Muslim art or listen to Muslim music, even if they're not Muslim, and be impacted by it in the same way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so if there's something I want from people who are Muslim who are in positions of power, it's to get a little bit more nuanced. Because they are not thinking about the 101 aspect of being Muslim 24/7, so why are we dumbing it down for the general public? I think we actually will have a greater impact if we go a couple layers deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there a moment you had while you were recording this show that you find especially powerful or memorable?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The [interview with \u003ca href=\"https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/tellthemiam?selected=KPC4117929019\">Deana Haggag\u003c/a>, CEO of the arts funding organization United States Artists] literally blew me away. I knew she was going to talk about taking her dad to this DIY Art Space in New Jersey. I had no idea the way that she was going to frame it as this emotional and mental switch where she had been thinking that she was running away from her culture by pursuing the arts, and then she realized that the arts were actually inherently part of everything in her culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112234\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112234\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/06/deanna_haggag__sq-18dfe5d20af073a67a1b6d80e5a98cd8ea9a8680.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of Deana Haggag.\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/06/deanna_haggag__sq-18dfe5d20af073a67a1b6d80e5a98cd8ea9a8680.jpg 200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/06/deanna_haggag__sq-18dfe5d20af073a67a1b6d80e5a98cd8ea9a8680-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Illustration of Deana Haggag. \u003ccite>(Emmen Ahmed/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Like, she says everything down to our religion is in song, everything is dance and the country Egypt is a museum. And by institutionalizing art, she was doing something that was foreign to her parents because art was so much a part of their lives. Listening to her I was like, \"Oh my God. That's exactly the struggle that I have had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I related so deeply but I had never been able to articulate it in that way. My parents would recite Urdu poetry at the dinner table back and forth to each other, or in the car on a road trip we would listen to Sufi classical music. My dad does Islamic calligraphy in wood and leather as a hobby. These are things that are just deeply a part of my life. Colors and aesthetic and music and how we dress and look—all those things are such a part of who I am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The show centers Muslim voices, but the stories aren't centered around being Muslim. How do you explain that to your interview subjects so that they understand what you're going for?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were just like, we don't want to pigeonhole you. We don't want to ask you about that aspect of your identity. We want \u003cem>you \u003c/em>to figure out a defining moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think most of the people who ended up being guests on this show, they kind of got it right away, even if it took them a moment to figure out what that moment was in their life. But basically, what we would say is, \u003cem>\"Listen, you've probably always been asked about being Muslim and blah blah blah.\"\u003c/em> Some of our queer Muslim guests were like, \"Oh my God, thank God you're not asking me about the gay Muslim thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're really trying to move beyond the surface level of people's stories. How do you get that kind of vulnerability out of people?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's a wonder what listening can do. I try to mostly just stay quiet and stay out of the story and the interview process as much as possible....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when your interviewer is with somebody who's Muslim, who's also been pigeonholed, and who can relate to your experience I think maybe there's a little bit more of a comfort level there. You're willing to go to places where you wouldn't with another interviewer who doesn't know anything about your experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And this simple act of not deciding ahead of time what the story is, but rather letting your guests dictate the story, gives them power to define their narrative again and to lead with their story rather than their label.
