Racial Trauma Series: Coping While Brown 🌎👊🏾

We're Done Here

Zubi Ahmed, the queen of side-eye and stand-up, joins Meka Mo for a laugh-out-loud exploration of life as a South Asian Muslim woman in the Big Apple. 🍎
Zubi and host Meka Mo dive into the hilarious realities of navigating life and the comedy scene in NYC. Zubi and Meka talk cultural expectations, microaggressions, and mastering the art of self-care that doesn't suck (ditch the kale smoothies, Zubi's got way cooler hacks!) Plus, Zubi shares her hilarious guide to dealing with "pale bless-their-hearts" brothers and sisters (we love 'em, but let's be real...), and staying fly in the face of everyday BS. ‍♀️
What are your go-to self-care rituals for staying grounded? 🌿✨
Hit play and let's get real about surviving the urban jungle. We're Done Here, but you're just getting started. Subscribe, like, and comment because we love hearing from you! ❤️‍🔥
ABOUT ZUBI
Zubi Ahmed is a Bengali-American Muslim writer, comedian, and filmmaker. Born in Chicago and raised in Brooklyn, Zubi might be at odds about the best pizza but will fight for both cities no matter what. Short on all things including height, temper, and patience, she's convinced she is related to Joe Pesci aka dad. Zubi is one of the hosts of Kutti Gang, a live comedy show featuring South Asian performers. She is the writer and director of Polterheist, a comedy web-series about a guy and a gay ghost which has been featured in the South Asian Film Festival of America and NY Lift-Off Film Fest. You can also catch her talking to other brown talents and community organizers on her baby talk show, Late Afternoon with Zubaira, available to watch on Youtube.
