S2E11. HERITAGE THROUGH FIBER ARTS WITH NADIA
IN THIS EPISODE, WE’RE JOINED BY NADIA, A CRAFTSPERSON AND FIBER ARTIST (@HOPEANDHEARTSHOP). For Nadia, tatreez is a gateway to not only her personal identity but to opening up conversations with family members and others about Palestinian history, experience, and cultural heritage.
Nadia recounts her initial exposure to this traditional art form, how it seamlessly intersects with the many other fiber arts she explores, and she continues to find inspiration for new ideas and keep track of them all. She discusses the influence of her grandmother (Teta) on her tatreez practice and shares her perspective on learning how not to be afraid to try new things and the resources, both free and paid, that we can all take advantage of to do so. Tune in to gain inspiration from Nadia’s thoughtful approach to preserving and innovating within the realm of Palestinian tatreez.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
