Episode Synopsis "Layers in The Big Sick: A Look into the Portrayal of Muslim Women in a Rom Com"

Welcome, welcome, to another episode on Layers in Media: A Perspective. A lovely friend reminded me of the film The Big Sick and brought me back to several conversations I had when it first came out about the films portrayal of Muslim women and immigrant parents. I felt like revisiting those conversations in order to help others recognize just how problematic the film was, and how ignored and belittled Muslim women of color felt when watching the summer hit. I hope y'all enjoy the holidays and have a Happy New Year. Hopefully 2021 will be a little less traumatic than 2020.
