S1 E12 • Zamzam & Nour • 'wherever we are, we try to be alive'

"You have no idea how complicated it is to be Palestinian"

Although both share Palestinian roots, their life experiences have been drastically different one from another. Nour is a Palestinian refugee who grew up in Gaza. She recounts the difficulty to safeguard a sense of togertherness between the scattered Palestinian diaspora and the isolated Palestinian remaining in their land. Daughter and granddaughter to Palestinian refugees, Zamzam is a Syrian-Palestinian who spent most of her life in Syria before fleeing the war. By contrast to Nour, Zamzam was raised to know all about her roots and the condition of the Palestinian people, although she never set foot in Palestine.

This episode slightly differs from the previous ones. We have decided to hold space for our two guests, who brillantly succeeded in interviewing each other. Nour and Zamzam, as the last guests for this first season, we cannot thank you enough for such a moving conversation ♥️☀️
