Episode 18: My Nana Mary

Sharing a story of a remarkable woman who I am lucky enough to be related to. A very personal, raw and honest conversation with my grandma. We talk about so many important topics including interracial marriage, having a child with Down Syndrome in the 1970’s, mental health and her road trip to Pakistan in the 1970’s. I am in awe of how much my Nana has been through in her life. Despite her challenges in life, her sense of humour makes everything seem fun and joyful.

Episode 12: Concoction of a tiny guest, reflections and summary of the episode with my dad

This is “a bit of an everything episode,”, with my 5 year old Nael making a guest appearance, me thinking out loud and eventually summarising my dads episode in English! You don’t want to miss this one, I describe my dads conversation and experience of having to deal with the aftermath of a bomb attack, moving to a different country and his perception of how we should live our lives!

Come, let’s have some tea & a chat.
