S03 E55 Borjouliya

Mohamed Triki is a 22 year-old Tunisian podcaster working on Borjouliya podcast, the first and so far the only podcast focusing on toxic masculinity in Tunisia. Mohamed grew up in Tunis, in a middle-class family, went to public school and has very nostalgic memories about his childhood, his large community of friends and the neighborhood he has been living in. He studied business administration and his passion for feminism and storytelling led him to the world of podcasting. His keen interest in economics, and Development Studies and his diverse and multifaceted being motivate him to contribute to something new in those disciplines. Mohamed says: "I want to see what I can bring as someone who comes from North Africa, the Arab region, the Mediterranean. I have this idea of how I can belong to different spheres and different circles and identities, Arab, Muslim, feminism, economics, maths and arts, my own definition of religion and so on." Talking to Mohamed was a joy: We talked about toxic masculinity and what it means, about men’s mental health, their bodies, unwanted dick pics, the penis, smashing the patriarchy and fatherhood. And I thank Mohamed from my heart for his openness and wonderful vibes. Host: Stella Saliari At Salt the Podcast my guests and I contest and deconstruct narratives, and passionately recreate with the aim to change systems and perceptions. We want to elevate a generation that is feminist, antiracist and empathetic. Our conversations flow into each other and leave room for the unexpected. Salt is love, community, solidarity, a collective, healing, creating. It is intersectional, full of stories, movement and change. It insists, evolves and transforms. It is a commitment. #tunis #toxicmasculinity #borjouliya #thepenis #intersectionality #feminist #podcasters #dickpics #fatherhood #men #thegym #saltthepodcast #thevitruvianman #smashingthepatriarchy #mentalhealth #northafrica #openingup #noshame #collective #community #visbility #stories #personalnarratives Follow Salt @salt_thepodcast Subscribe to Salt The Podcast on Soundwise
