Topics
The Rise of Islamophobia (And How to Stop It)
Islamophobia - a word that describes racism and bias against Muslims and perceived Muslims - is the idea that a group of 2 billion people that share a spiritual practice are all the same, evil, violent, oppressive or oppressed people. It is a form of bigotry and hatred that is rooted in thoughts, ideas, and feelings that do not represent real Muslims. It also is a dangerous world view that results in the killing and harm of real people.
In this talk, Misha Euceph helps people understand what Islamophobia is, its history, and the most common tropes. Misha also breaks down how they show up in the workplace, in media and at home; and how to challenge these narratives. She takes real world examples and shares how to spot hatred and also how to empower your Muslim friends and employees to heal from trauma and celebrate their own culture. From building awareness around Ramadan and other religious holidays, taking visits to local Muslim institutions (restaurants, mosques, etc.), inviting a diverse group of Muslims to speak at your workplace to creating a space for conversations, celebration, and Muslim-led initiatives, she shares specific frameworks to build solidarity.
Islamophobia & Anti-Semitism
Misha Euceph works with Jewish collaborator Brandon Kaufer, creator of the Dog Whistle Dictionary of Anti-Semitism, to share the historical connections, the present-day similarities and the intertwined fight of Muslims and Jews against hate and bigotry.
Misha and Brandon structure the talk in a variety of formats, with workshops, Q&A’s and other voices. They touch on history; generatonal trauma; reframing the narrative towards celebration, joy and affirmation; and what it looks like to build deep trust between two communities being pitted against each other.
A Way Forward: How Storytelling and Humor Can Build Resiliency
One of the biggest challenges for executives and community leaders is building resilience-- an individual and relational grit. It makes sense: we live in a world that feels like it’s falling apart, with polarization, impending disasters, and a lack of trust in traditional institutions.
Misha understand that resilience is a cornerstone of high-functioning teams and impact-driven lives. In this thoughtfully curated talk, Misha teams up with comedian Esteban Gast to explore how solutions-oriented storytelling motivates people to act and how humor is the most useful tool in building resilience. Drawing from their breadth of experience telling stories across mediums-- as podcasters, writers, speakers, entrepreneurs, and comedic storytellers-- they share a framework and help audiences develop their own resilience muscles through highly interactive exercises.
