Abdul Kareem Al Selwady knows how to fight. But for “The Pride of Palestine,” his biggest fight has never been just about what happens inside the cage.

Palestinian-American professional MMA fighter Abdul Kareem Al Selwady joins Said Durrah for a powerful, funny, and deeply personal conversation about Palestine, faith, identity, discipline, family, and finding purpose through fighting.

Abdul Kareem explains why he carries the name Al Selwady in honor of his family’s village of Silwad, how Palestinians gave him the nickname “The Pride of Palestine,” and why he describes himself as “literally a walking Palestinian flag.” 

He opens up about the pressure of representing Palestine every time he competes—and why he says he thrives under it. For Abdul Kareem, fighting became more than a sport. It became a platform to represent his people.

The conversation also goes far beyond MMA. Abdul Kareem talks about discovering martial arts as a teenager in Jordan, how fighting transformed a rambunctious kid into a disciplined athlete, and why he believes martial arts can give young people confidence, focus, and direction.

He also gets personal about faith, injuries, setbacks, and learning to trust Allah’s timing, including lessons from his longtime relationship with Imam Omar Suleiman. Abdul Kareem explains why fight camp can feel like another Ramadan—making him more disciplined as an athlete, Muslim, husband, son, and brother.

And outside the cage, Abdul Kareem discusses his commitment to youth and his humanitarian work with Human Appeal USA, including his passion for supporting orphans in Palestine.

Then we get to the questions that truly matter:

🥊 Knockout or submission?
 🍚 Mansaf or maqluba?
 🇵🇸 Palestinian or Jordanian mansaf?
 🍰 Knafeh khishneh or na’ameh?
 💍 Two Arab weddings = two gifts?
 👁️ Can hasad cause a flat tire?
 🥩 And how exactly did a ribeye steak become Abdul Kareem’s emergency phone cooler?

Palestine. Faith. Fighting. Family. Food. Purpose. And plenty of Arab chaos.

This is Abdul Kareem Al Selwady — The Pride of Palestine.

What if the way we talk about Palestine is part of the problem?

“Conflict.” “War.” “It’s complicated.”

Omar Baddar thinks we need to rethink all three.

In this episode of Arab Is Me, Said Durrah sits down with Palestinian-American political analyst and activist Omar Baddar for a candid conversation about Palestine, media, advocacy, political power—and the words we use to describe what Palestinians are experiencing.

Omar has made a name for himself walking into some of the toughest media debates on Palestine, often entering conversations where he knows the framing may already be working against him. He takes us behind the scenes of those appearances: how he prepares, how he handles an ambush, why he sometimes ignores the question being asked, and how he makes his point when television gives him only seconds to do it. 

Then Said puts Omar through a different kind of test.

Conflict. Complicated. War.

One by one, Omar breaks down why he believes these commonly used words can distort the reality of Palestine—and what advocates should understand about communicating an issue that is so often framed before they even enter the conversation.

But this episode goes well beyond the media.

Said and Omar get into some of the harder conversations happening inside our own communities: Who should speak for Palestinians? Do Palestinian voices need to lead every conversation about Palestine? What about powerful allies like Mehdi Hasan? Are political “purity tests” hurting the movement? Can you accept support from someone you fundamentally disagree with without compromising what you believe?

Omar also explains why he believes the American conversation around Palestine really is changing, what gives him hope, how activists can avoid burning themselves out, and what someone without a microphone, television platform, or huge social-media following can start doing right now.

And before Omar escapes, he has to survive Al-Bab—where we get his thoughts on Edward Said, Fairuz, Bill Maher, Sam Harris, hummus as a meal, knafeh preferences, and the Arab historical figure he'd choose for one unforgettable conversation.

This episode isn't simply about what you believe about Palestine.

It's about how we talk about Palestine, who gets heard—and whether the conversation itself is finally changing.

What are the things Arab families know are happening—but are still afraid to talk about?

On this episode of Arab Is Me, Said Durrah sits down with Dr. Linda Humaidan Zayed, a public health researcher, educator, and community health expert whose work focuses on health equity, mental health, women’s health, intimate partner violence prevention, and Arab and minority communities.

This conversation goes places Arab families often don’t.

Dr. Linda and Said talk about mental health and the stigma around therapy, intergenerational trauma, domestic violence and abuse, substance use, survivor’s guilt, the immigrant experience, and the pressure many Arabs feel to simply “stay strong.” They also explore what happens when one generation says, “I had it worse,” instead of validating what the next generation is going through.

But this conversation isn’t about blaming Arab culture. It’s about understanding it.

What should we preserve? What needs to change? How do war, displacement, immigration, family expectations, shame and the idea of “3ayb” shape the way we deal with pain? And most importantly—how do we break unhealthy cycles without losing the community, family and identity that make our culture so special?

As Dr. Linda explains in the episode, sometimes “the nothing is what got us here in the first place.” Talking about difficult things may be uncomfortable—but silence has consequences.

Episode 15 is different. No guest. No script. Just Said Durrah — and a mailbag full of questions he had never seen before.

After spending the first 14 episodes asking everyone else the questions, Said finally gets put in the hot seat for the first-ever Arab Is Me Mailbag.

And apparently, nothing was off limits.

Am I Palestinian enough? Have I ever turned down money because of Palestine? Who surprised me most in Arab entertainment? Do I regret spending so much of my career building other people instead of building myself? What do I think the Arab community gets right — and where are we getting it completely wrong?

Said also talks Mohammed Assaf, the Arab Is Me guests who have affected him most, Arab identity, supporting our own businesses and culture, why he refuses to change the pronunciation of his name, and — naturally — the important debate of maqluba vs. mansaf.

This one is personal. It's funny. It gets uncomfortable. There are tangents. There are opinions. And there are answers Said didn't have time to prepare.

Welcome to the Mailbag. 📬🔥

Hani Almadhoun has lost two brothers in Gaza. Yet through unimaginable grief, his family has continued feeding people across Gaza.

In this deeply personal episode of Arab Is Me, Said sits down with Hani Almadhoun, Palestinian American humanitarian, Director of Philanthropy at UNRWA USA, and co-founder of the Gaza Soup Kitchen.

Hani opens up about the loss of his brothers Majid and Mahmoud, the work his family continues to do on the ground in Gaza, and the impossible reality of helping thousands of people while knowing there are always more people you cannot reach.

They also talk about something that too often gets lost behind the headlines: the beauty of Gaza.

The beach. The food. The family gatherings. The humor. The ingenuity. The random uncle who shows up. The sounds and smells that immediately take you home. Hani reminds us that Gaza isn't simply a place of destruction or suffering. It is home.

Said and Hani also get into the responsibility of humanitarian organizations to be transparent, raising Palestinian children in America, the importance of Arab and Palestinian political engagement, and why our community needs to show up, vote, organize, donate, and tell our own stories.

And then we head to Al-Bab, where things get lighter: Ghazawi food debates, Arab dinner etiquette, Abdel Halim vs. Mohammed Assaf, the nonprofit question Hani is tired of hearing, and whether buying someone coffee really counts as paying them back for a steak dinner.

This is a conversation about grief, family, service, resilience, and a family that refused to stop feeding Gaza.

His family fled war in Iraq. Years later, DJ Ahmed would become one of the most recognized Arab DJs in America.

After the Gulf War, Ahmed’s father fled Iraq and spent years in a refugee camp in Saudi Arabia before the family was eventually reunited and began a new life in the United States.

Ahmed once dreamed of becoming a doctor, but his path would take him from working with refugees and building a career in tech to discovering an unexpected calling behind the DJ booth.

In this episode of Arab Is Me, Ahmed opens up about growing up Iraqi in America, family expectations, leaving the traditional career path, battling imposter syndrome, knowing your worth, navigating faith and community expectations, and building spaces where Arabs can celebrate their culture through music.

Then we put a professional DJ through Al-Bab, with some nearly impossible choices about Arab music, weddings, dancing, and which country really has the best music.

This is a conversation about Iraq, family, survival, identity, music, entrepreneurship, and having the courage to bet on yourself.

Most people have no idea Palestine has a golf team.

It does.

And in this episode, Mike Easmeil shares the incredible story of how his family helped build the Palestine Golf program while his children proudly represent Palestine in international competition.

But this conversation goes far beyond golf.

Mike takes us through his family's journey from Palestine to Norfolk, Virginia, what it was like growing up Palestinian in a place with very few Arabs, and how reconnecting with his homeland transformed the way he viewed his identity.

We also talk about comedy, raising children who are proud of their heritage, the importance of taking your family back to where they came from, and why representing Palestine is about much more than where you live.

This is a conversation about family, identity, resilience, and the responsibility we all have to carry our culture forward.

Whether you are passionate about Palestine, sports, or simply love hearing remarkable stories, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

About Mike Easmeil

Mike Easmeil is a Palestinian American comedian, golfer, and advocate for the growth of Palestine Golf. Through his work with the Palestine Golf Association, he has helped create opportunities for Palestinian athletes around the world while supporting the next generation of golfers representing Palestine on the international stage.

Every two minutes, a mother dies from preventable complications during pregnancy or childbirth.

It's a heartbreaking statistic—but one that Isra Chaker refuses to accept.

In this episode of Arab Is Me, Said Durrah sits down with Isra Chaker, Founder & CEO of Every Pregnancy, to discuss one of the most overlooked issues in our communities: maternal health.

Isra shares her own experience with a complicated pregnancy, the inspiration behind launching Every Pregnancy, and why she believes every community has a role to play in ensuring no mother dies from preventable causes.

Together, they explore why conversations around pregnancy, fertility, postpartum health, and motherhood are still considered taboo, and what it will take to change that.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

•  Why maternal mortality remains a global crisis. 
•  Isra's personal pregnancy journey and how it changed her life. 
•  Why pregnancy and fertility are conversations we need to stop avoiding. 
•  How simple, affordable interventions are already saving mothers' lives. 
•  The role faith, philanthropy, and community can play in protecting mothers and babies. 
•  How men, families, and friends can better support women during pregnancy and postpartum. 
•  Why investing in mothers is one of the most impactful investments we can make. 

And because this is Arab Is Me, the episode wraps up with our signature Al Bab rapid-fire questions, where Isra shares her favorite Syrian dishes, reflects on Arab culture, family traditions, and answers a few fun questions you won't hear anywhere else.

Whether you're a parent, hope to become one, work in healthcare or humanitarian aid, or simply want to better understand the experiences of mothers around the world, this conversation is filled with insight, compassion, and hope.

Linda Sarsour has spent decades organizing communities, advocating for justice, and becoming one of the most recognizable Palestinian-American voices in the world. But this conversation goes far beyond the headlines.

On this episode of Arab Is Me, Linda joins Said Durrah for an honest conversation about home, identity, family, and what it truly means to fight for something you love.

She reflects on being denied entry into Palestine, why no one can take your homeland out of your heart, the beauty of growing up Arab, and the responsibility we all have to build stronger communities. Together, they explore the difference between social media and real impact, why solidarity begins with showing up for others, and how ordinary people can create extraordinary change.

Along the way, Linda shares personal stories from her childhood in Brooklyn, lessons from her parents, unforgettable moments from Palestine, and why hope continues to guide her work.

And because this is Arab Is Me, the episode ends with our signature Al Bab segment, where Linda takes on rapid-fire questions about Arab culture, weddings, hasad, Fairuz vs. Umm Kulthum, and much more.

Whether you've followed Linda's journey for years or are meeting her for the first time, this episode offers a side of her that audiences rarely get to see—personal, reflective, humorous, and deeply rooted in what it means to call a place home.

In this episode of Arab Is Me, host Said Durrah sits down with Omar Kurdi—a CEO, musician, poet, actor, author, and community leader whose life has been guided by one simple philosophy:

Born in San Francisco and raised between Muscat, Oman and Amman, Jordan, Omar has spent his life building bridges through leadership, creativity, and service. Most recently, his self-funded music video celebrating Jordan's historic FIFA World Cup qualification reached more than one million views in just two weeks, introducing his music to audiences around the world.

But this conversation goes far beyond music.

Together, Said and Omar explore what it means to embrace your Arab identity, preserve your family's stories, pursue creativity without fear, and build a legacy defined not by titles—but by purpose. They discuss community organizing, nonprofit leadership, poetry, theater, music, faith, storytelling, and why the people who change the world are often those courageous enough to dream before anyone else believes it's possible.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Growing up between America, Oman, and Jordan
• The story behind Omar's million-view World Cup anthem
• What it truly means to be Arab
• Building community through leadership and service
• Preserving family history before it's lost
• Poetry, music, theater, and writing a deeply personal novel
• Authenticity, purpose, and chasing meaningful work
• Why everyone should dare to dream bigger
• The legacy we leave behind

Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, advocate, or simply searching for purpose, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to choose between your passions. Sometimes the greatest thing you can do is simply become the person you were created to be.
