Rising Convert Experience
Salam! Hola, and welcome! I’m Kelly, the host of the Rising Convert Experience Podcast. I’m a Latina Muslim convert, Guatemalan by heritage, born and raised in Canada. I grew up in beautiful British Columbia but now call Alberta home. I have two siblings—fun fact: one of them is my twin!
But enough about me—This podcast is where we dive deep into the journey of being a Muslim convert, embracing faith, navigating life with a fresh perspective, and explore the diverse journeys of Muslims—whether you're newly embracing Islam, years into your journey, or just curious about what it's like to be a convert, this space is for you.

Ep. 11 | Becoming Muslim: Forfeiting Culture and Identity (Ft. AJS Therapy - AJ Swiecinska)
For a new Muslim person, taking on a new religious identity can be a significant change that may affect their sense of self and cultural identity. To feel like they can still be themselves, they can incorporate their cultural practices that align with Islamic values and learn about the rich diversity within the Muslim community.
InshaAllah this perspective shared from AJ Swiecinska who is a Psychology therapist and a certified Islamic Counsellor can support our current practice and ibadah, which refers to acts of worship in Islam; and can bring peace to one's mind and heart.
