About this episode

Connecting with your roots is an important path of life for every person. However, this path is especially important for a third-culture Palestinian growing up away from their homeland.

Listen in to Mais' story about reconnecting with her culture, family, nationality and religion.

This recording was between Isra and Mais.

Happy Listening Burgers!
