Rob and guest-host Asad Butt welcome Mariyam Cementwala (aka “The Blind Hijabi”) for a discussion on turning being memorable into privilege, how after a long career at the State Department she has launched a more personal project, and comfort with chaos has helped her in her work. Also, Rob and Asad applaud North Face for pushing back against conservative anti-LGBTQ+ trolls, and consider the Equinox payout driven by inappropriate behavior of a woman’s subordinate. Finally, Rob lights up The Atlantic for a lazy take on the DEI industry and Asad gets excited about the scripts he’s received in Rifelion’s first ever screenwriting contest.

Hosted by Rob Hadley and guest-host Asad Butt.

Produced by Rifelion Media.
