شو بيصير بكل الحكي اللي ما قلناه، لما فجأة ما يعود في وقت نقوله؟

بهالحلقة من Ask The Hood، منحكي عن الموت… بس مش بس عن الفقدان. منحكي عن كل الأسئلة اللي بيخلّينا الموت نواجهها: الندم، الأنا، الحكي اللي ضلّ معلّق، الفرص التانية، والحب اللي أوقات منستنى كتير قبل ما نعبّر عنه.

ليش بس نخسر حدا بتصير الأمور أوضح؟ ليش الاعتذار بيصير أسهل لما الشخص ما عاد قادر يسمعه؟ وليش أوقات منستنى لحدا يروح، لنعترف قديش كان بيعنيلنا؟

حلقة عن إنو نحكي، نحب، ونهتم بصوت عالي… طالما بعد في وقت.

What happens to all the things we leave unsaid when there’s suddenly no time left to say them?

This episode is a conversation about death not just the loss itself, but everything it makes us question: ego, regret, unfinished conversations, second chances, and the love we sometimes wait too long to express.

Why does death make everything feel clearer? Why do apologies become easier when they can no longer be heard? And why do we sometimes wait until someone is gone to say how much they mattered?

An episode about choosing to care out loud, while there’s still time.

If this episode stayed with you a little longer than expected, there's more waiting for you.

The conversations continue on my Substack with essays, poems, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and letters I don't always say out loud.

Listen to the episode, then come meet me there. 🤍

What if your favorite movie was never really about the movie?

In this episode of Ask the Hood, I revisit Good Will Hunting for the fifth time and realize that the film never changed I did.

What started as a story about intelligence, trauma, and healing slowly became a mirror for someone I loved. I talk about watching the film while falling for someone, watching it again after losing them, and how the same scenes suddenly carried completely different meanings.

We explore why some people believe they have to heal alone, why love can feel more frightening than loneliness, and the difference between wanting to save someone and simply wanting them to know they don't have to carry everything by themselves.

This isn't really an episode about Good Will Hunting. It's about the strange way art holds onto the people we meet, the relationships that shape us, and the versions of ourselves we become. Because sometimes the stories we return to aren't changing at all they're simply reflecting back whoever we're carrying with us.

If you've ever had a movie, a song, or a book become permanently attached to one person, this conversation is for you.

Some longings don't ask to be fulfilled anymore.

They just ask to be understood.

In this episode of Ask The Hood, we talk about the quiet ache of wanting to be loved, the loneliness that hides beneath independence, and what it feels like to live in the space between hope and acceptance.

This is a conversation about yearning for the kind of love that stays, the kind that chooses you and the difficult prayer that follows when you've waited for too long:

"If it's not meant for me, please let me stop yearning for it."

We'll talk about why books, music, and art can hold us but can never replace human connection, why some of us become experts at pretending we don't need anyone, and how to make peace with the uncertainty of not knowing whether love is on its way or if it's time to let go of the waiting.

If you've ever wondered whether your longing means something... or simply wished your heart would stop reaching for what isn't reaching back, this episode is for you.

If this episode stayed with you a little longer than expected, there's more waiting for you.

In this episode of Ask The Hood, Reema sits down with Sandra Rizk, founder of SCULPTOR FOUNDATION, to unpack the reality behind fast fashion, copy culture, and the loss of creativity in today’s industry.

From the “Shein effect” to overconsumption, sustainability, Arab futurism, and identity in fashion, this conversation goes beyond clothes. Together, they explore what happens when trends move faster than meaning, why every store suddenly feels the same, and how independent designers, communities, and creatives are paying the price.

This episode is about more than fashion. It’s about identity, power, creativity, and the future of self-expression in a world built on speed.

Is fast fashion killing originality… or are we all part of the cycle?

بهالحلقة من Ask The Hood، قعدنا أنا و Sandra Rizk مؤسسة SCULPTOR FOUNDATION نحكي عن الـ fast fashion، ليش كل البراندات صاروا يشبهوا بعض، وإذا عنجد السرعة والترندات عم يقتلوا الإبداع.

حكينا عن الـ Shein effect، النسخ، الاستدامة، والـ overconsumption… وكمان عن شو يعني تكون creative عربي اليوم وتحاول تعمل شي عنده معنى بهالindustry.

حلقة شوي fashion، شوي identity crisis، وشوي “ليش عم نشتري كل هالقد؟”

ويمكن أهم سؤال:
هل بعد في originality بعالم الموضة… أو كل شي صار copy paste؟

بحلقة جديدة من Ask The Hood بحكي عن الغُربة بشكل مختلف…
 مش بس غُربة سفر، بل غُربة شعور. مش منتمية لهون ولا لهناك… هاي غُربتي

تجربتي بين لبنان والأردن، وكيف ممكن تحب بلدين بنفس القوة، بس تحس أحيانًا إنك مش منتمي بالكامل لأي مكان.
 عن الاشتياق لتفاصيل صغيرة، وعن الإحساس إن البيت ممكن يكون أكثر من مكان… أو يمكن ولا مكان كامل.

حلقة قريبة للقلب لكل حدا عاش الغربة، حتى لو كان ببلده 🤍✨

This episode is for the quiet moments.
For the days that feel heavy without a clear reason.
For when you need a reminder that life is still made of soft, beautiful details.

I list the little things we often overlook, morning coffee that hits just right, random compliments, clean sheets, deep breaths after hard moments, inside jokes, familiar songs, and the kind of comfort that doesn’t ask questions.

No fixing. No lessons.
Just a gentle pause, a shared exhale, and a reminder that sometimes it’s the smallest things that keep us going.

Put this on when you need comfort.
You’re not alone.

In this episode, I talk about being labeled an extrovert for years when I was actually just surviving loudness. About retiring the “social butterfly” title. About realizing that I don’t want to perform anymore.

After years of being “the social butterfly,” the life of the party, the DJ, the loud one I realized something unexpected: I was never that girl. I was performing her.

And about how one person  withou trying  gave me the quiet confirmation I needed to close a chapter I’d been dragging for too long.

If you’ve ever felt tired of being “the fun one,” this episode is for you.

Can guys and girls really just be friends? Or is there always something lurking beneath the surface? In this episode of Ask the Hood, we’re diving deep into the age-old debate: Can platonic friendships between men and women truly exist?

From personal experiences to cultural perceptions, we break down the dynamics of cross-gender friendships—when they work, when they don’t, and whether society still struggles to accept them. Are these friendships always walking a fine line, or can they be as real and pure as any other bond?

Tune in as we uncover the truth behind friends without benefits. 💬🔥
