Weyam Ghadbian joins us in studio to discuss two websites that are part of a larger network of online platforms working to “amplify voices of change”, called Mideast Youth. Ahwaa.org is a space where LGBTQ individuals in the Arab world can connect and discuss issues concerning their community. Mideastunes.com is a music platform that puts Middle East and North African artists at the forefront.
