2 Arab Girls

In this week's episode, we're chaotic. Chaos energy only. We go from discussing current events (dismall, btw), to reading our DMs for a laugh. Because life is about balance. Send us your cheeky DMs. Stay safe out there. Xoxo.

Stop acting brand new - we know you love to chat dating. Naturally, we're going to lean into this topic and give the people what they want. The question on our mind this episode: when is the right time to introduce your family to your signifcant other? Is there a right time? Let's chat about it.

Remember that time entire populations of Black and Brown folk were called "uncivilized" on international TV? Oh right, that was just last week. In this episode, Gheed and Fatima try to unpack their collective trauma around the crisis in Ukraine. Take off your outside shoes and switch out of your subway pants, because this one is heavy.

Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers...Oh my! They've all got one thing in common, their parents aren't disappointed in them. As for the rest of us, the losers, the outcasts, the financially unstable; we're still figuring it out. Lucky for us, we've managed to find our own success and our parents a pretty freaking proud. In this episode, we dish about what success looks like in an Arab household and how the definition is evolving.

Friend of the Pod Adreanna Ekdawy chats how her parents marriage helped her prioritize her wants and needs in a relationship. While her parents are both Egyptian, her Dad was born and raised in Egypt for the majority of his young adult life, and her Mom was raised halfway across the World in California. Despite their totally different upbringings, they make it work, and Adreanna takes us on a hilarious journey of their relationship timeline.

Our favorite white girl, Madisen Theobald, joins the 2 Arab Girls podcast and we play a game of compare and contrast. Growing up Arab is, arguably, a totally different experience from growing up White. We chat our differences, and our similarities, here on 2 Arab Girls.
