We could not have chosen a better conversation to have in our first episode back post-COVID19!
From Alexandria, Egypt to Niagara, Canada at 14, Alyaa has long been a citizen of the world. Armed with a natural curiosity that's always thirsting for knowledge, she has taken on the world in a way that is uniquely hers.
In what is a truly interesting discussion, Bibi and Sarah talk with Alyaa about her Nubian heritage which she champions with her streetwear company, Nubian Narrative, how her family immigrated to Canada, her return to Egypt on vacation which turned into an entire adventure that lasted years before she finally came back to Canada.
We also touch on the weighty topics of religion, culture, independent thought, social entrepreneurship in the open, comfortable style that you've come to expect from our conversations.
