Welcome to the 2nd episode of the first season of Zina's Buqalah!
In this episode, I sat down with Diyala Shihadih of the Palestinian Youth Movement. Born and raised in the Bay Area, this Palestinian community organizer breaks down the history of the occupation of her homelands, the importance of stories and symbols (like the olive tree you can see painted across many murals like this one created by Black Panther OG Emory Douglas), and the right to return to Palestine in this lifetime. She goes on to debunk many myths and false narratives about her people and their struggle for liberation, and speaks of the importance and power of international solidarity between indigenous people.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
Find out more about the Palestine Youth Movement (PYM) and the critical work they do, by follow them on social media platforms and checking out their website. (https://palestinianyouthmovement.com).
"PYM is a transnational, independent, grassroots movement of young Palestinians in Palestine and in exile worldwide as a result of ongoing colonization and occupation of (their) homelands."
Beats in the background were produced by Monk HardToStop (@monk_hts) and Evaclear (@evaclear_music).
