Ep. #27: The Earthquakes in Turkey & Syria
This week I will be talking about the earthquakes that occurred in Turkey and Syria about two weeks ago. This is very personal to me so I took the time to dive into the topic and the reasons why so many citizens are so infuriated now with the governmental response to the disaster. If you have…

Ep. #26: Books to Put on Your To-Read List in 2023
Long time, no episode! As the new year has greeted us, I wanted to get back to nourishing this podcast - and what better way to start than making a nerdy bookworm episode. If you have read any of these already, please let me know what your thoughts were! And if you have any books to recommend,...

Ep. #25: On Female Exclusivity
In this week's episode I dive into female exclusivitiy and how I apply it in my own life. Roughly two years ago I decided to become a female exclusive bisexual meaning I decided to only start dating women and not pursue my attractions to men. From that moment onward, this concept quickly expanded...

Ep. #23: Somebody Else's Weight Is None Of Your Business
We are back after a long and not anticipated break! Mentioning somebody's weight in casual conversation has been so normalised that many people feel comfortable talking about it - but many others do not feel comfortable hearing it, and rightly so. In a society where our worth is directly linked…

Ep. #22: K-Pop Reminiscences - feat. Charlotte and Maura
Three soju bottles in on a Saturday night, we could not resist talking about our good ol' memories around K-Pop - how it carried us through our teenage years, helped us build connections and friendships, and how, not only those memories, but also our love for it has stayed with us until now. Does...

Ep. #19: Daily Acts of Violence Against Women
No matter where you have been born or where you currently are, as women we have experienced and continue to experience violence on a daily basis - whether it be in verbal, emotional, or phyiscal form. And even though this one of the most common forms of violence globally, it does not get the...
-
Ep. #18: Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism
Is it possible to consume ethically under capitalism? Or are we all bound to be vassals of the system even if we try to make consciously ethical decisions? The short answer is yes. The long answer is, well, the episode. What are your thoughts on the topic? Are the ethical choices presented to us...
-
Ep. #17: #NotAllMen And Rape Culture
I believe #NotAllMen to be one of the most blatant lies in our current times. Women experience sex-based violence every single day - may it be in form of online or street harassment or emotional and physical violence, every woman I have ever met can relate to the fear, anger, and frustration that...

Ep. #16: What Is Pride To Us? - feat. B, Melanie, Dayna, Mariam, Maxence, Maura, and Brian
In this episode, we discuss what Pride means to us, if and how we participate in Pride, and what changes we would like to see concerning the LGBT community. I think there is this assumption sometimes that just because we are part of a larger community that we have this hive mind and that we agree...

Ep. #15: Lebanon's Leaderful Revolution - feat. Yasmine
Since October 2019, Lebanon's people have been constantly on the streets protesting for their rights. Ignited by the government's decision to levy new taxes, millions of protesters went down to the streets to show their disapproval of the corrupt government, demanding its resignation, the...

Ep. #14: Post-Pandemic Revolutions
I don't know about you but if the lockdown has bubbled up one thing in me, it's my raging desire for change. Whether we are talking about capitalism, education or women's liberation, many of us agree that once the quarantine is over things shouldn't go back to normal, they should transform! Which...

Ep. #13: Gezi Park Explained
28th May 2013 was the first day of what became a series of nationwide protests across Turkey. People from all kinds of backgrounds united to fight for a cause. The demands? The resignation of the corrupt, fascist, and authoritarian government, the removal of Erdogan from office, the preservation…

Ep. #12: Cultural Confusion - feat. Lisa
Growing up between cultures is hard. Whether you grew up as the child of immigrants, as a mixed child, or you just moved around a lot, figuring out your cultural identity only gets more complicated as you mature. In this episode, Lisa and I talk about how growing up between cultures has shaped…

Ep. #11: And They Were Lesbians!

Ep. #9: It's Ramadan, Baby! - feat. my baba
Ramadan Mubarak to everyone! The holy month of Ramadan started this Friday and growing up Muslim in a Western country taught me one thing for sure: many people have no clue what Ramadan really is. So in this epiosde, I will try my best to explain what Ramadan is, why and how we fast during this...

-
Ep. #7: Under The Patrichary, Our Bodies Don't Belong To Us
When I turned 16, my mom started telling me to shave my arm hair which, if you ask me, is pretty f***ed up. And even though I told her no, I later felt subconcisiouly pressured into doing it to feel desirable. A lot of what is presented to women as a choice these days, is still enforcing the...
-
Ep. #6: I Don't Know What I Am Doing Anymore
Going a bit crazy during this quarantine? Yeah, me too. That's why I have been indulging in a lot of movies lately. ESCAPISM BABYYY! Have you watched any of these movies or can you recommend me some to continue this streak? Let me know!
