"Are you there, #vted? It's me, Jeanie."

On this episode of the podcast, we're re-joined by one of the very first guests on our show, Jory Hearst. She returns to talk about All-American Muslim Girl, by Nadine Jolie Courtney. Jory shares her own journey through and relationship with Judaism, and the ways she found her own feelings and questions reflected in this text. But in addition to talking deeply and reflectively about religion, All-American Muslim Girl presents us with some powerful ideas about flexible pathways for learning, identity, and consent.

In this short clip, Jory reads from the end of All-American Muslim Girl, and reflects on what she's learned from the main character.
