Vegans for Palestine Podcast - Episode 24 - Vegan Palestinian Hospitality

This episode is an in-house conversation between two Palestinian vegans, unpacking what it really means to live a vegan lifestyle within a culture where food and hospitality are everything. We chat about how sharing meals is such a big part of showing love and care, and how that can sometimes feel tricky when your values around food are different. There’s an honest look at that balancing act—staying true to your beliefs while also respecting cultural traditions and not wanting to offend anyone or appear '3yb'.  The conversation flows through real-life experiences, like bringing your own food to gatherings, sharing vegan dishes with others, and finding ways to communicate your needs without it feeling awkward. There’s also a personal reflection on motherhood, and how raising a child can shape the way you approach food, values, and everyday routines.
