Have thoughts? Send Zahra a text!

In this episode, host Zahra Huber sits down with therapist Lilly Ismail to talk openly about the mental health stigmas that run deep in Arab and Arab-American communities. 

From the fear of judgment and pressure to remain “strong,” to the silence around trauma, anxiety, and depression, they explore how these patterns form and why they persist. Lilly offers insight from her  work and her own lived experiences, breaking down the difference between cultural values worth preserving and inherited beliefs we need to unlearn.
