Episode 26 in English: Meet Elias! They’re Awesome.


We loved talking to our friend Elias on this episode.  On this episode, we discussed some topics with them related to being non-binary; we really appreciate Elias taking the time to talk with us and to help bring reminders and awareness to folks about some of the experiences that go along with being non-binary.  Not only does society as a whole need to step it up in understanding and accepting people who are NB – queer folks need to be paying attention and rethinking biases/ignorance re: NB folx as well.

Here are the links to their website & the article they mentioned being part of:

The word helem means dream in Arabic.  In this episode, we had a very informative and meaningful conversation with Joseph Aoun, who is the coordinator of the Helem Community Center in Beirut.  Helem is a Lebanese non-profit working on improving the legal & social status of LGBT folks. Helem is the first LGBT advocacy group in the Arab world.  We thank Joseph for talking to us and for the important work he has been doing!
