Manage episode 496096609 series 3641984
In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Slava invites listeners into the intimate corners of her memory, painting a reflective and emotionally rich portrait of her childhood in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦.
Told through the lens of a second-class citizen, this episode unpacks the cultural contrasts between Jordan π―π΄ and Saudi Arabia, navigating a complex dance of identity, belonging, and nostalgia. From the feeling of being "in between" to the subtle ways societal hierarchy shaped daily life, Dr. Slava shares her story with vulnerability, depth, and strength.
This is more than a memoirβitβs a meditation on:
- Cultural duality and identity fragmentation
- Belonging and displacement
- Resilience in the face of silent marginalization
- The evolution of self through the lens of cultural and emotional memory
A must-listen for anyone who has ever tried to make sense of home, heritage, and healing.
