We are recording again out of Farm Girl, this time with Alya Mooro (and my daughter Aya present). Alya approached me on Instagram with a thank you from one Egyptian to another. I read a bit about her and realized the great value she's bringing into the world.The fact is, history has been unfair to women and that continues to this day. As a Middle Easterner, I want to dive into that fact from a cultural perspective familiar to me.Alya Mooro is an Egyptian born, London raised writer and author of the bestselling 2019 book The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes. Alya has written for New York Magazine, The Telegraph, Refinery29 and maintains a monthly newsletter titled The Greater Conversation, continuing the themes of her bestseller. She is also host and producer of the podcast Talk of Shame, where she speaks with groundbreaking fellow Middle Eastern women to explore the meaning and impact shame has on our lives, attempting to decipher how we can best stop letting it run our lives and start living our most authentic selves. Listen as we discuss:Alya's multicultural upbringing.The theme of being othered.In the Middle East, your friends are your family.The immense value of open dialogue between parents and kids.At a point in time, you need to stop parenting.Middle Eastern stereotypes of women and how they influence the women too.What is a feminist?The shame around sex and rebranding it.These days, whoever cares less, wins.You are what you eat on social media.Lean into your femininity.The difference between childless and child-free.Why marriage doesn't feel worth it for Alya.The failure of second wave feminism.Alya's definition of happiness: when what you do and what you want are in harmony.YouTube: @mogawdatofficial (full video episodes here)Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatWebsite: mogawdat.comConnect with Alya Mooro on Instagram @alyamooro, Twitter @alyamooro, and her website, alyamooro.comDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday.

Alya Mooro is an Egyptian-born journalist and writer based in London who wrote her first book The Greater Freedom: Life As a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes where she discusses the identity crisis that can be caused as a result of immigration, the 'stereotyping' of the Arab woman, toxic masculinity in females, and a lot more. The conversation starts with a simple, yet crippling question, only felt by those of us born and raised in a cultural mocktail; "How do you answer the question where are you from?" We discuss the existential crisis of Arab girls raised around the globe and the need to feel a sense of belonging, the fear of shame, the need for validation and understanding and the urge for honest representation of the Arab woman BY ARAB WOMEN. Within the talk, we dive in deeper into inner child healing, awareness and building boundaries along growing up! Enjoy the talk!
Our guest is none other than British-Egyptian journalist and author, Alya Mooro. The social issues advocate sat down to discuss everything from Arab women and Women's History Month to what truly constitutes the “greater freedom” in addition to some highlights like attending the Oscars with Yosra and seeing her book on a billboard.
In this episode, Specialist ED Dietitian Hala Abu Taha meets Egyptian born, London raised writer Alya Mooro. Together, they discuss some of the cultural stereotypes Alya talks about in her book “The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern woman outside of the stereotypes” and how these might affect women's relationship with themselves and their bodies. - Why representation is key to help with authentic living- “The Arab contradictions that while women are warned against being in any way sexual from childhood, they are at the same time trained to be almost wholly preoccupied with their body, hair, eyelashes and clothes, sometimes even at the expense of developing their minds, personalities and other assets”. - The “invisible jury”, the concept of 3aib and gossip specifically targeting women and their looks - What is a better way than forbidding food, drink, sex - Where to start on our way to the greater freedomFind Alya's book, newsletter and podcast via www.alyamooro.comPlease reach out with your questions, suggestions and feedback via media@meeda.meFor your free 15 mins assessment, please visit www.meeda.me
Growing up, I can't tell you how many times I used to hear the words 3aib, haram or the most triggering of all: "What will people say." But in today's episode you're going to hear what Alya Mooro, my special guest, has to say about navigating the many facets of her identity as an Arab woman.It was just last year when I had picked up Alya's book, 'The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes', and I found myself devouring every word of hers. In her book, I had seen myself, my struggles, my identity crisis and the many obstacles I had faced trying to figure out who I truly am.As a first born and the daughter of immigrant parents, I've come to realize that my life path was already written for me by my parents, extended family and members of the community before I ever had a say in it.Navigating life as an Arab woman meant that I was responsible for carrying the burden of my family's honor on my shoulders. I was always paralyzed by the fear of making any wrong decisions that could jeopardize the reputation of my family name. I never understood why this huge responsibility was placed on us women and never on our male counterparts until Alya Mooro directly said this in her book:"Women hold the burden of their family's honor and that honor lies between their legs."It's this obsession and constant policing of women that dictates our every move. As an Egyptian born and London raised Arab woman, Alya shares the struggles she had faced and is still facing as she is trying to figure out who her authentic self truly is.In this episode we discuss how our identities can dictate how we behave, the East vs West mentality (haram vs halal), juggling different versions of ourselves, halal dating and how to deal with rejection in life.It's important to note that all of us still have our own unique experiences growing up as Arab, Muslim or as women in general, and the obstacles we faced as women isn't limited to only our Middle Eastern culture, these issues are also very prominent in Western societies.I hope that we can continue to have these conversations and for us to continue providing spaces to do so. We all have a voice and we all have the right to be heard.Enjoy and follow the pod on Instagram:@unsweetenedandunfilteredFollow Alya Mooro on Instagram:@alyamooroTune into Alya's 'Talk of Shame' podcast here:Talk of ShamePurchase Alya's book here:The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes

When was the first time you were told something was 3aib? Do you still feel the burden of carrying your family's honor? Growing up, were you told you were too much? If so, we're here to talk about it and let you know you're not alone. If you enjoyed this episode make sure you subscribe, rate and review!

Join as they reminisce over their first “best friend” (wow possessive), cringe over how they used to pride themselves over not being “like other girls” and whether they’ve now found the coveted “SATC female friendship group”.

Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community still walks away with newfound curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into headfirst.

It’s the last episode of Season Two! Where has the time gone?! This season has got us through lockdown, long days and strange moments. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed speaking to everyone this season during what has been a bizarre and challenging time!

How do you find yourself when you're stuck between two cultures? Alya Mooro was born in Cairo, Egypt and grew up in London, UK. Growing up with multi-cultural heritage, Alya began questioning the pressure she felt in the face of opposing stereotypes and attitudes. Today we have a really great chat about feminism, identity and breaking down taboos in both Western and Eastern cultures. I was really keen to discuss difficult conversations with Alya too. In today's political climate, these uncomfortable, controversial and sometimes downright awkward questions need to be asked amongst our friends, family and peers. It's the only way things are going to progress in a positive direction and people are going to feel seen and heard. I hope today's chat gives you some food for thought or a new perspective you might not have had before.
