How would you define ‘hitting rock bottom’?

In this week's episode, we discuss our experience with the low points in life and how we overcame it. Everyone defines hitting rock bottom differently and choose to bounce back in many different ways, we hope that you can relate to our experiences and if you're going through something -- you're not alone! 

Thank you so much for listening!

Another week, another podcast! 

In this week's episode, we asked ourselves why we choose to focus on certain world issues over the other. Does it reeeally matter if your fave celeb posts about a global issue that you are passionate about? Are you a bad person if you choose not to post about Palestine? BLM? Uyghur Muslims? The Ethiopia-Tigray Conflict? Yemen? The War on the Middle East? ...and that's just to name a few. How is it possible to be educated about every single issue that is taking place on this Earth and to maintain your mental health AND educate your social media following? 

We'd love to know how you feel about this topic, please join in on the conversation and tell us your thoughts via Instagram: @cousinconnectionpod

Welcome back to another week with the Cousin Connection Podcast! 

In this week's episode, we discuss why we (as first generation Canadian Hararis) assimilated to African-American culture. It's a touchy topic but it's our reality and we're sure many of you have gone through this experience as well. We also shared some stories about whether we were ashamed/embarrassed to be labeled as "Ethiopian" vs "Black". 

Thank you for the support and we'll see y'all next week!

Welcome back to the Cousin Connection Podcast!

In this week's episode, we are discussing the horrible violence, illegal occupation of Palestine, how the US supports the Zionists and what we can do to support our Palestinian brothers and sisters. We also discuss how the blatant racism towards the Palestinians reminds us of the blatant racism that Black people face (mostly in the US) and briefly discuss the positive outcome of Derek Chauvin being found guilty on all charges. We also both got our first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and we discussed our side-effects and future side-effects for vaccine #2 and we ended off our discussion with some of our "suhoor problems" lol. Please keep our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world (who are all going through different hardships) in your du'ahs! 

Stay tuned for a new episode, next Thursday!
