Weyam Ghadbian joins us in studio to discuss two websites that are part of a larger network of online platforms working to "amplify voices of change", called Mideast Youth. Ahwaa.org is a space where LGBTQ individuals in the Arab world can connect and discuss issues concerning their community. Mideastunes.com is a music platform that puts Middle East and North African artists at the forefront. www.mideastyouth.com/ [1] ahwaa.org/ [2] mideastunes.com/ [3] To contact Weyam: [email protected] [4] Music featured in this episode: Revolution Makers - Onadekum (www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFShnZiBbgE [5]) Contact us: [email protected] [6] Twitter: @arabiyaat [7] Theme song: Muqata'a - Ahya' (Instrumental) @boikutt [8][1] http://www.mideastyouth.com/[2] http://ahwaa.org/[3] http://mideastunes.com/[4] https://kpfa.orgmailto:[email protected][5] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFShnZiBbgE[6] https://kpfa.orgmailto:[email protected][7] http://twitter.com/arabiyaat[8] https://soundcloud.com/boikutt
