The Accidental Arab

The Accidental Arab

My life was set up to be semi-normal until I found myself in the middle of Saudi Arabia as a Black American girl. I accidentally grew up more Arab than American. This podcast is a look inside of my experiences, trials, and breakthroughs of drifting between two identities. You'll also get to step into other people's lives through their own third-culture stories. Join us to listen to our journeys of acceptance.

There was a time that I lied about my identity. And I know I'm not the only one. Many do it for different reasons...and here's mine.

Hajara and I grew up together in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In this episode, we talk to each other for the first time in over 10 years! We cover everything from being a black kid in Saudi to our shock at the lack of privacy we have in the US.

Join us for this trip down memory lane!
