Chai & Boi
By Sarah McCrumb
Welcome to Chai & Boi, my name is Sarah and this is my podcast on history, politics, folklore, religion, spirituality and of course books. I will be using books as my main tool for my podcast, exploring ideas and concepts that I enjoy and hope others will too. All my topic intertwine with one another, making this patch work of history. The world is more Grey than it is black and white.

The First Muslims in the Americas, Black History Month: part one
Muslims have always been apart of America since 1492. They sailed on the ships, explored the new world, and were enslaved here. They were not silent and this history has been covered up or not explored, until recent times. Sit back and enjoy some interesting history. ******I do not have a good microphone at the moment, so I apologize for my audio. I am also newly started out and will continue to fix things and make better content.********
