Hi, I’m Thoraya. You may know me from YouTube or social media where I interact with and share stories of strangers. 95% of my daily interactions begin with an introduction, so if you don’t know me, bear with me while I piece together yet another one. I spend my life meeting strangers and engaging them in intimate conversations with me, and sometimes even with one another. In this new podcast, I share these strangers with you, an audience of other strangers, in hopes that one day we won’t feel so “strange” to one another anymore. So, nice to meet you. I’m Thoraya and welcome to “Hey, Stranger!"

A stranger I still remember
A stranger I still remember... I was in the grocery store and needed to buy a lot of stuff. It was my turn to put the groceries onto the cash register (band?), and then a guy came up behind me with just a bread. I ofcourse said to him that he could go first since he only had the bread. He also bought a lottery ticket and said to the cashier to give it to me and then smiled at me and said «thank you!».
I was all shocked and so happy and thankful!!! I always let people with fewer things than me go first. When I came out of the store some small happy tears ran down my cheeks as I was so touched by him just doing this thing for me, just from me letting him go first. I always try to be really nice to people and always do my best to put others before myself, and still I rarely have positive feedback/have people even say thank you.
I will forever remember this sweet guy and also remember that being nice to others is important and something I always want to keep doing, even if this would end up being the only time I get a great response like this! ❤️🙏🏻
Other than that I do SO much look forward to Thoraya starting this podcast as I absolutely LOVE everything else she does!!! There is no one other than Thoraya that has so much impact on me as she does. She really is one in a million. I’m sure I will love the podcast to, and I can’t wait to get to listening!!! 😍🤩 I love you and your work Thoraya! ❤️
