My Childhood Is My Biggest Inspiration

Linda Christina Karam
About this episode

Sabah El Kheir! This week, I'm reflecting on how much I loved my childhood and the family dynamics that shaped me. Recently, I visited my childhood home in the US after many years of living overseas, and it stirred up all kinds of emotions. To top it off, I found an old hard drive that took me on a trip down memory lane. One cool discovery? A folder from the extra semester I spent in a TV and film program-after already graduating in Finance and Marketing! In this episode, I share how those experiences led to my first short film and why l've always been drawn to creative outlets like fashion, modeling, pageants, painting, and more. Let's get into it!
