The Salam, Girl! podcast features content related to building a strong confident character as an American Muslim woman.  The show is hosted by Monica Traverzo and Nicole Queen, two American women who chose to convert to Islam. They share advice, experiences and interview inspirational guests to help empower Muslim women to reach their fullest potentials.

Not a fan. I’m not Muslim but enjoy listening about people’s experiences and religion. After listening to this I have to sit and explain soo many things to my children, not things that I want to at this point. Talked about Christianity and God and how it’s not something that is believable. I teach my children and guide them to believe and look at god for guidance and one podcast and now they have doubts. Awful.

Listen without children around

I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year now and continue to be inspired and educated with each episode. My significant other is a revert and he appreciates this podcast because it can be hard to find connection with the Muslim community when you are a revert. This podcast has given me a greater sense of sisterhood and also makes me laugh. I want to be your friends! You both have great personalities, the topics are thoughtful, this podcast is just MAGIC.

MAGIC ✨
