    On Growing Up in The Gulf

    In this episode, we sit down with Dima and Sherazade (Belal's childhood friend and neighbour) to reflect on our deeply personal experiences growing up in the Gulf region as "expats" in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE while exploring the intersections of power, class, hierarchy and gender.

    On the Hijab, Family and Choice

    In this powerful episode, we examine the Hijab with its intersections of identity, family and choice/agency. Our special guests Soraya and Dima, the former having recently chosen to wear it and the latter having recently chosen to take it off, provide insight on their interpretations of the Hijab and what it means to be openly Muslim, female and proud in today's contemporary world politics!
