How I Became an Accidental Egyptian in a Queer Bar

In this debut episode, Shane unpacks the bizarre, exhausting, and oddly familiar experience of being everything but recognized for who he is. From being mistaken for Middle Eastern to feeling invisible in queer spaces, this episode dives into misidentification, cultural erasure, and the quiet ache of never quite being seen for who you are. Equal parts spicy and sincere, it’s a chai-fueled reflection on identity, queerness, and carving space where there isn’t any.Follow me on socials: Instagram (@shanelamba21) & Tiktok (@chai.me.a.river).
