I never thought this day would come but this week's guest is my mother, Dr. Feryal Rasheed. This episode is special to me for many reasons, but especially because my mom allowed herself to really open up and share her early childhood memories in Gaza, which as you can imagine was quite traumatic and not easy for her to talk about. I hope you appreciate this episode as much as I do, enjoy psychos.

The poem/song my mom is referring to is the 3rd track on this Palestinian playlist I created https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0RLtsq4LL0MTD7DPldPQa3?si=23293587cf8f4cfe
