The Uptown! Speaker Series will welcome Aymann Ismail – an award-winning journalist, podcast host, video editor, and photographer – to the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 6:30 PM.

Ismail’s work focuses on how identity and religion interact with politics. He wrote and produced Who’s Afraid of Aymann Ismail?, a video series that moves beyond stereotypes of both American Muslims and their self-professed adversaries, finding hope and fault in both.

Ismail’s sometimes funny, sometimes provocative dialogue will provide surprising insights about today’s society.

“My whole life people have feared me for being Muslim,” he said. “Now, I’m confronting those fears where they live – in the alt-right and in my own community.”

He currently hosts Man Up, a weekly podcast about men, relationships, family, race, and sex. He’s been featured on CNN and NPR.
