  • As You Prepare Your Morning Coffee, Think of Palestine

    As You Prepare Your Morning Coffee, Think of Palestine
    May 25 2025
    In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Heba — a Palestinian woman living with MS, now working in the nonprofit world raising funds for orphans in Gaza and beyond. We talk about what it means to carry grief, live with faith, and still find ways to give back while watching a genocide unfold from afar. The title of this episode comes from a line by the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish: “As you prepare your morning coffee, think of others.” It's a gentle but urgent reminder — to hold Palestine in our hearts even in the smallest, quietest moments. Heba’s story is one of resilience, generosity, and deep-rooted love for her people. We reflect on the power of Islam as an anchor during devastating times, and how giving becomes a form of resistance. 🕊️ Follow Heba: https://www.instagram.com/hebasubehhyder/🧡 Support her work for Palestinian orphans: https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/bring_hope_to_those_in_need_w_heba_s Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Some People Don't Deserve Names w/ Marah Siyam

    Some People Don't Deserve Names w/ Marah Siyam
    Jun 8 2022
    Marah Siyam is a 23-year-old Palestinian American. Marah graduated from Rutgers University- Newark with a bachelor’s degree in English as well as a minor in Fine Art and Art History. Born in Jerusalem and raised in both Palestine and the United States, she has a unique perspective on the struggles of balancing both cultures. Her work illuminates the perspective of the young Muslim American and aims to share it with readers of all ages. Marah began writing her debut novel on the first day of quarantine. In a moment of fear and uncertainty, the motivation to fully immerse herself into the story she’s always wanted to tell was presenting itself to her. Having changed schools five times in two different countries, her experiences shaped her into a person who was endlessly inspired by the people around her and the relationships she built over time. Her fascination with the good and bad sides of people is what ultimately inspired her to write a novel centered around just that, and how the experiences we share are not unique but our reactions are.
