    Decolonizing Your Mind with Sarah Al Zanoon

    In this conversation, Ezra speaks with Sarah Al Zanoon, a Palestinian-Venezuelan organizer whose family has been directly impacted by the ongoing war in Gaza. They explore Sarah’s experience growing up in the diaspora, navigating identity and belonging, and the process of “decolonizing” her own thinking. Sarah shares what it was like visiting Palestine for the first time, including a moment at a military checkpoint that shifted her understanding in a lasting way. The conversation moves through grief, activism, and the tension of holding both gratitude and devastation at once—while continuing to take action in the face of it. Sarah also speaks about how she channels her grief into organizing, mutual aid, and community-building, and reflects on what hope can look like in a moment that often feels hopeless. If you can - please support the following organizations at Sarah's suggestions.

    Untangling Narratives with Skyler Carrico

    For the first episode of The Thin Veil, Ezra welcomes filmmaker Skyler Carrico—whose chance online critique became a turning point in Ezra’s journey toward a deeper understanding of Palestine and the systems shaping our world. Together, they trace their parallel paths of political awakening, including a shared reckoning with the influence of figures like Sam Harris, and what it feels like to confront the possibility that you’ve been deeply misinformed. Skyler shares his experience traveling to the West Bank in 2024, where he encountered both the realities of life under occupation and the resilience, warmth, and humanity of the people he met. The conversation moves through media, ideology, and empire—while asking harder questions about responsibility, perception, and what it means to keep showing up once the narrative begins to unravel. For this episode we'd like to highlight and encourage your support towards The Sameer Project, a donations based initiative, led by Palestinians in the diaspora, working to supply aid to displaced families in Gaza. You can also support this podcast and Ezra's creative work both as a musician/artist and content creator through his Patreon page for as little as $5 a month.
