As a consummate storyteller and journalist endearingly known as 鈥淧odcast Noor,鈥 she deconstructs and analyzes the stories Muslims tell each other, the stories others tell about Muslims, and how these stories shape reputations.
鈥淢y intention with 鈥楻ep鈥 is to challenge the concept of the value of representation,鈥 said Noor. 鈥淭his series is about questioning what we鈥檝e been told about ourselves and our community to understand what it means to be an individual who 鈥榬eps鈥 themselves. I believe that if you really know yourself, and I really know myself, we will always be able to find pieces of ourselves in each other. And suddenly, our world begins to make sense.鈥
Identity and the importance of proper representation are at the center of all Noor鈥檚 and AYS鈥 work. AYS was founded in 2019 with a different approach towards storytelling. Noor鈥檚 guided storytelling sessions which she discovered and debuted with her show 鈥淧odcast Noor鈥 led to the unique style of the Rep series. Noor practiced this particular form of storytelling for over a year before turning it into an investigative series.
鈥淥ur difference is in our perspective: a journalist鈥檚 approach to the world and its stories,鈥 said Adam Khafif, co-founder of AYS and Executive Producer of Rep. 鈥淭hrough a lens of service for the narratives often unseen, AYS prioritizes intention and integrity. By passing the mic and amplifying those conversations, the natural outcome is intention-driven work that serves our shared community with stories that connect us.鈥
For Rep, AYS assembled a team of esteemed producers and creators such as Zaron Burnett and Jason English, both serving as Executive Producers; Mumu Fresh, a singer/songwriter, and rapper who wrote and composed the theme song; senior producer Emilia Brock and more. As the creator and producer of the renowned history podcast Zaron brought a precious and unique perspective to this project and first hand experience on how the stories we hear shape us.
鈥淢y dad didn鈥檛 want slavery to be my only image of Black people in American history, so every night he filled my dreams with these incredible stories of Black cowboys,鈥 said Burnett."
