S2 E5: Eman El-Husseini with Maysoon Zayid My Dad Stole My Limelight

This week's guest is none other than Lauren's favourite (favourite human, favourite handbag designer, favourite badass comedian...) Eman El-Husseini.
Eman speaks openly and hilariously and is real with us about the not-so-easy parts of coming out. Eman is a proud Palestinian, Muslim woman and speaks on her experiences coming out to her family, friends and fellow comedians.
Eman is a comedian, podcast host and half of The El-Salomons - a love story of her and her wife Jess Salomon.
Eman is joined by her mentor and friend Maysoon Zayid. Maysoon is an actress, comedian and disability advocate. Maysoon is the co-founder of the New York Arab American Comedy Festival where Eman and Maysoon met and have worked together many times. Their friendship is funny, honest and empowering.
We are incredibly grateful for Eman sitting down to talk on the podcast. Eman is a role model and friend to Lauren, and having her on the podcast is a dream come true.
*please note that Maysoon had to leave early as she is so popular so the ending might sound like we ignored her but we didn't we swear!!!! :)
