Activist, Founder & CEO Chama Mechtaly on Censorship & Coexistence

Chama Mechtaly was born and raised in Casablanca, Morocco, to Arab Muslim parents. But in middle school she discovered her dad's family secret, hidden even from her mom: his Jewish roots. It changed the course of her life - setting her on a path of trying to understand her country's true history, as well as her own. She's channeled it into incredible work aimed at healing rifts between Jews and Muslims. Now based in Dubai, she created the jewelry line Moors & Saints as a creative and unexpected way to do exactly that. In a raw, open conversation she talks us through the path to understanding her identity, being censored by everyone from her country to an (ex) partner, and her secret to having tough, uncomfortable - and great conversations.
