Abstract: This qualitative research study centers on the Gendered Islamophobic experiences of Second-Generation Millennial Muslim American Women (2GMMAW). The study leans on a phenomenological approach informed by a modified Doing Difference framework and U.S. Third World Feminism and Differential Consciousness to call attention to omni-relevant identities for 2GMMAW in daily life and navigating Islamophobic experiences. Nine semi-structured interview guides were completed that inquired about the domains of Gendered Islamophobia (Disciplinary, Structural, Hegemonic, and Interpersonal) and called attention to their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes during these experiences. In addition, this study aims to address gaps in the literature mental health process for 2GMMAW and their Islamophobic experiences. The main outcomes from this study include the Invisible Load of Gendered Islamophobia, the Merry Muslimah, and Implications for Religion in Social Work education, research, and practice.
