    Dark Night of the Soul

    The much-anticipated final episode (bar the finale) is here, a gift from my heart to yours. By far the longest and hardest to write. I'll save the long one for the finale, but thank you. This will always be my favourite corner of the internet. YouTube (!!!): https://www.youtube.com/c/LamiaFarah Music: Lovely by Amine Maxwell https://soundcloud.com/aminemaxwell Take care, Lamia x PS.

    Capitol Hill

    Hello! As always, thank you so much for your continuous support on this podcast, also known as my first-born child. This episode takes place in Italia (oh you thought we were going to DC?) As always, I'd love to hear from you. Do you also categorise people in your head? (I can't be the only one!)  Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/global_narratives/ YouTube (!!!): https://www.youtube.com/c/LamiaFarah Music: Lovely by Amine Maxwell https://soundcloud.com/aminemaxwell Take care, Lamia x

    Are you happy to be in Paris?

    Hello! As always, thank you so much for your continuous support! I hope the love you all show me is returned to you tenfold. This episode takes place in Paris (no surprises there, considering the title!) To me, the overarching theme of this episode is appearance vs. reality, as I touch on my personal experience with 'Paris Syndrome' - I feel indebted to the Japanese for providing the language for a feeling I'd probably spend a lifetime trying to put into words (and even then, I think I'd fail dismally) had it not been for them.  As always, if you'd like to share your thoughts on the episode with me, my DM's are wide open!

    Academic Elitism

    Hello! I'm back and I'm better! As always, thank you so much for your continuous support! I hope the love you all show me is returned to you tenfold. I loved writing this episode so much and it takes place in London - one of my favourite cities in the world. I highlight my experience as a first-generation student in a predominately white elite institution as I was confronted weekly with Academic Elitism that made me reflect on the extent to which my own academic advancement makes me prone to Academic Elitism.

    I am not my Hair

    Hello! As always, thank you so much for your continuous support! I hope the love you all show me is returned to you tenfold. I loved writing this episode so much. It takes place around the world, this story is INTERNATIONAL! I talk about my tumultuous relationship with my hair, from detesting it to growing to love it, to experiencing something that would highlight how fleeting beauty is and reinforce the importance of being beautiful internally (gosh, that was cheesier than raclette - just go listen!)   Listen to I am Not my Hair here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_5jIt0f5Z4) orrrr, maybe you'd prefer the original version which you can find here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYarYhKa9c) The catastrophe happened in November 2018 and I have not straightened my hair ever since, I eventually will, but chile, let me heal fully first and regain my ability to trust hairdressers. My hair is back to normal now (yayyyy!) and I'd argue that it's never been healthier. I will be posting a few pictures from the journey on my Instagram, so come and say hello!

    Matters of the Heart

    Hello! First and foremost, thank you so much for your continuous support (and don't even get me started on patience!) I hope the love you all show me is returned to you tenfold.  This episode takes place in Zimbabwe. I talk about a friendship that ended as chaotically as it began. This situation had so many loose ends, so I did my best to make sense of a situation that made little sense to begin with. I am very keen to hear your opinions on this story!

    Man Like

    This week's episode takes place in the gym of my alma mater in London. I wanted to highlight the duality of opening up to a stranger while still having your wits about you as a female in the modern world.  Thank you for listening, I appreciate your support!

    The Minute the Lunch Bell Goes

    This week’s episode takes place at my primary school in Zimbabwe where I was a weekly boarder. I reflect on one of the most special relationships I’ve ever had with a member of staff and I speak about the trials and tribulations I encountered on venturing into a space that was not necessarily made for people of my pigment.  Thanks for tuning in !
