What She Said

In this impromptu episode I chat about the broken ceasefire and shared a message of steadfastness and hope for activists and supporters of Palestine. I introduced the Arabic word "(صمود) Sumud," meaning steadfastness, and reflected on the importance of taking action, no matter how small, in the face of despair. I also unveiled a new direction for the podcast: a podcast review concept!Key Takeaways:The importance of steadfastness (Sumud) in the face of challenges. Anger can be a catalyst for action. Small actions can create significant change. The new podcast format will involve reviewing and discussing interesting podcast episodes with guests. Podcast reviews and ratings are crucial for visibility.
