Ep.8: The "Where Are You Really From?" Question

from The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast · host Nawar Sayyad

Belonging isn’t just about where we’re from -  it’s about who makes room for us there. In this episode, I reflect on what it means to belong as someone born and raised in Norway to Palestinian parents, and why a simple question - “Where are you really from?” - can carry more weight than it seems. I explore how global citizenship invites us to widen our definition of belonging, to make space for multiple identities, and to practice inclusion in our everyday lives.   Reference used in this episode: Salole, L.
