In this episode, Hanan and Lina catch up after a short break. Lina shares a powerful moment from her visit to Ellis Island, where she found her grandfather’s name listed with “Palestine” as his homeland: proof of a history that refuses to be erased. The conversation then shifts to the heartbreaking reality in Gaza: Israel’s intentional starvation of the people there, the genocide unfolding in real time, and the urgent need for awareness and action from all of us.

In this episode, we’re catching up and talking about a little bit of everything — from Wael Kfoury’s new song to the Tea App drama taking over Dearborn Arabs. It’s one of those episodes where the conversation goes in every direction…and somehow still makes sense (kind of). No script, no guests — just us hanging out. Come chill with us!
