Episode 10: Vibrancy and Intersectionality

Our guest on this episode is the fabulous Naushaba Patel, a Pakistani American who embraces themself in a beautiful, genuine way.  We spoke about their navigation toward accepting every part of themself and living an honest life (as we can all relate to in various ways).  It was an absolutely lovely time with Naushaba.  Listen to this episode to hear about all of the important work Naushaba has been doing.  Pakistani and Arab cultures have many commonalities, and we discussed that too.  Thank you for listening, and thank you to Naushaba for being on our 10th episode (yay – we’re now in the double digits)!

Episode 9: A Talk with an Egyptian Metalhead

This week, we spoke with Cherine!  Cherine talked with us about her experience growing up as a child of Egyptian immigrants in the United States.  Cherine also shared her experience being bisexual, and that got us talking about bisexual visibility and how the “B” in “LGBT” often gets overlooked.  We also spoke about mental health and the stigmas against the topic within many Middle Eastern cultures.  Oh, and Cherine gave us an idea of how into metal she is (listen to see how many CDs she has)!

Also, as mentioned in the episode, Against Me! is the band that we said we would post about here.  You can find them here:   http://www.againstme.net/
