✌🏽 no but where are you really from? — with Nora G. [Part I]
Explicit content warning
12/24/21 • 46 min
Do you hate being asked “no, but where are you really from?”
This is the first of a two-part episode with my high school friend Nora Gharib. Nora is a full-time architect, interior designer, and content creator! This week we chat about how her parents met in NYC, despite coming from two entirely different countries; we also chat about language confusion, culture, and hiding behind certain identities. Of all the intercultural people I have met, Nora and her family are the first I meet that have an extended family that also understand what it means to be cross-cultural within the same cultures! Next week on part II of the episode, we tackle religion as Nora also grew up in an interfaith family.

🍄 being an "other" in a white majority — with Khairat
Have you ever felt "othered"?
On this episode, I speak with my old friend Mohamed Khairat, a lawyer, journalist and founder of Egyptian Streets. We discuss his upbringing growing up between Australia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and the Netherlands. As we navigate his experiences in the different countries, we touch upon discrimination, being white-passing, and the desire to fit in. He also goes back to the origin story of Egyptian Streets and explains how it came to be. Tune in for an insightful conversation about growing up as a Third Culture Kid.

Next Episode
✌🏽 the checklist we grew up with — with Nora G. [Part II]
Growing up did you feel like you had to adhere to a certain checklist; be it your parent's, society's, or your religion's checklist?
This is part II of a two-part episode with my high school friend Nora Gharib. She is a full-time architect, interior designer, and content creator who just moved from the East Coast to the West Coast! This week we tackle religion as Nora grew up in an interfaith household and with a very diverse family around her. We chat about celebrating religious and cultural traditions, the checklist for marriage, questioning your elders, and wonder why we have arbitrary rules.
Part I of this two part episode is all about culture, languages, code switching, and hiding behind certain identities.
