How well do we know life in Saudi Arabia...

Nouhaila Moqaddem
About this episode

Episode in Arabic I NouTalks with Raghad Al Solami on the first guest episode of Season 2. Very happy to share my friend Raghad’s story and experiences from Saudi Arabia. I’ve learnt so much more about growing up in Jeddah.

Here are some of the highlights of our talk in this episode:

  • Raghad’s relationship with hijab and modest wear since childhood,
  • Growing up in a girls only household, schools and social scene,
  • How Saudi policies have evolved concerning women and their work,
  • Raghad’s story with the country’s social dynamics between men & women,
  • Working and seeking opportunities as a 27 young Saudi woman in a male dominated industry,
  • & lots of other relatable and funny stories.

Come hang out with us, and if you enjoy it please rate it & share with friends
