From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. End the occupation now.

May the oppressed know freedom and liberation and let us always keep the words the oppressed alive. May their words remain ingrained in our minds, in our hearts, in our actions.

We can because we must.

Guess who's backkkkkk! You know I had to give y'all another interview style episode and this time it's with one of my besties :)

This episode, Yanaminah and I tackled the intricate and many times difficult aspects of being an eldest daughter in an African household. The expectations, the burdens, the resentment, the hyper independence, the frustrations, people pleasing and everything in between. In the end, we did chat about what care can look like, what boundaries look like when you finally say "no" to the expectations that we're placed onto you, what community can do to aid with that care, and what importance friendship and community has when one is letting go of intergenerational traumas. The conversation was healing for the both of us, and we hope it can be for you too. Happy listening :)
