In this episode, I’m joined by Bayan Fares, founder of the Badan Collective, to talk about navigating identity, balancing cultural and societal expectations, and the role of faith in maintaining mental health—especially during difficult times for Palestine.

Bayan also shares how reconnecting with her heritage through tatreez has empowered her and inspired others in the diaspora.
