Toyin, Tobi and Elizabeth from the Religiously Nerdy Podcast graced our platform for the first post-Ramadan episode of 2023.Religiously Nerdy is determined to identify #spirituality in anime, manga, and pop culture. Their goal is to further build this community through exciting conversations via their blog, podcasts and videos.

Elizabeth Howie (she/her/hers) is an obsessive anime and manga lover. Currently in school for her BA in English to be an editor. On her off days, she enjoys staying home and binge-watching anime and Korean dramas, gaming, listening to KPOP, and reading manga and both nonfiction and fiction novels. Elizabeth is a proud Muslim. She is also tired of balancing faith, being Black and being a nerd.

Toyin Yusuf (she/her/hers) is a full-time nerd. At work she’s a software engineer in aerospace; at home she is a digital artist that geeks out on all things animation, manga, and comics. Toyin enjoys cosplaying, attending cons, video games, reading fantasy novels and expanding her pop culture knowledge. She is in fact a Muslim and a nerd.

Tobi Yusuf (she/her/hers) is also a full-time nerd. She aspires to be a doctor one day and is also a huge weeb, Marvel fan, cosplayer, bookworm, casual gamer, and a visual novel coder. Her Islamic faith is also very important to her and she wants to see more Islamic representation, especially black Muslims, in the media.

We spoke about our experiences watching anime, reading manga and engaging in pop culture whilst also navigating these spaces as Muslims.Be sure to check out their socials:
