From Al-Khalil to Ōtepoti: Rinad Tamimi on Identity, Palestine & Perspective

What does it mean to belong,  to a place, a people, and yourself?In this episode of Baskets of Knowledge, we speak with Rinad Tamimi, a Palestinian woman who grew up in Al-Khalil (Hebron) and moved to New Zealand at 13. Rinad shares her lived experience of migration, identity, racism, motherhood, and returning home after nine years away.This is a conversation about Palestine beyond the headlines, about gratitude and grief existing side by side, and about the responsibility of using your voice when you can. Rinad also reflects on her podcast The Watermelon Report and why storytelling is a form of service.A deeply human conversation that invites reflection, empathy, and perspective.
