Voice Notes to Friends

this week, we play the game "we're not really strangers" - yay! we ask each other some tough questions we hadn't before, get a bit more vulnerable, and share a few song recommendations while we're at it.

CHILDREN! The other "3o2balko" we get. Today, we're talking about wanting (or not) children, sharing our views on parenthood, gender roles, whether children owe their parents anything, and the concept of parentification. Yup, it’s a lot, but so is bring a child into the world

On this week’s episode, T asks the terrifying but exciting existential questions: who are we? Are we allowed to be ourselves? Do we have to keep changing masks (or hats) to fit in?

On this week's episode, we discuss our views on the institution of marriage, if we wanna get married, and how we feel about "3o2balik." Disclaimer: 3o2balik is an untranslatable word that is typically repeated endlessly at engagements and weddings or when the subject is broached. Basically they're wishing the same blessing upon you, so it's not really malicious, but can be problematic.

"If war is holy and sex is obscene, we've got it twisted in this lucid dream." Tell us about it, Alicia.  This time, we dive into the spectrum of sexuality and do some sexual unpeeling. Grab a cup of tea and come through!

TRIGGER WARNING: On this week’s episode, we discuss out personal journeys with therapy, healing, and mental health. Grab a cup of tea and listen to us talk with our peels off (you’ll get it when you listen)

On this week’s episode T & F talk about dating. The good, the bad and the downright ridiculous. Come through and listen to us discuss some dating stories and the notion of being content alone.

This week's voice note is about watering the garden of your mind to understand others and be less of an a**hole. I ask a lot of questions and would love to know your thoughts. PS, I don't hate [all] men, I hate the patriarchy. 

On this week’s voice note, listen to me say I don’t know 1500 times and contemplate social media activism... Also please let me know what you think on Instagram because as you now know I REALLY don’t know.

What's it like to belong somewhere and nowhere? Here we tell you about ourselves, the importance of representation, and how "Arab" we think we are. We also take a look at our childhoods, from disfiguring dolls to contemplating skin whitening creams. Disclaimer: it was Q & T, now it’s F & T, cause Q was a diva and we got rid of her. Kidding... F is just really indecisive.

Hi guys! Due to the current state of the world, catalyzed by the Beirut explosion, we recorded an emergency episode on Orientalism and normalizing unrest in Arab countries. After much debate, we decided to release it before our official first episode, which will be published as scheduled on Wednesday. 

Hi! This is a teaser for what’s to come. It’ll get better as we get the hang of it!
