Episode 23: The Year 2023!
Marhabtayn! It has been a while, but I'm back with one last episode for 2023. Firstly, I hope you're all safe and well. My heart is broken because of what is happening in Palestine and I'm praying everyday that things get better InshaAllah.In this episode, Lina and I reflect on the year 2023 but in a very light-hearted way. The last few months have been difficult to process and wanted to record something funny and light. My Arabic is a bit rusty so please be patient with me, my mistakes and my essays!
