Today we’re talking about the Middle Eastern Association here on campus, and we have Fahad Hakim and Sage Taber to help us to do that! In this episode, Fahad describes what it's like to be Middle Eastern on this campus, and Sage describes how she plans to maintain her connection to her Middle Eastern identity. As you listen, you’ll find that both Fahad and Sage are committed to seeking out connection with their culture on a daily basis, and the things they've discovered and communities they've created because of that are truly beautiful.

Special thanks to MEA board members, Hannah Kefalas, Eddie Simhairy, and Nuriya Mona for helping with our intro!

S3 Episode #7 Therapy

Hosting conversations with diverse groups to tackle important topics and amplify marginalized voices. We 
hope this can be place of affirmation for marginalized voices on campus as well as a place of learning for those who do not identity with certain stories, identities, backgrounds, or cultures.
