🎙️ A new episode is english out with the remarkable Donia Ismail,
Journalist, podcaster, community builder and former Slate journalist, Donia is someone I had wanted to have behind the mic for a while.
We ended up talking about so many things: identity, diaspora, media, representation, journalism, and what it means to tell certain stories today.
We also talked about growing up between different cultures, the relationship between France and the Arab world, and the role media can play in either building bridges or reinforcing the distance between communities.
And, of course, about one of the highlights of her journey: making a childhood dream come true by interviewing one of France’s most iconic figures, Zinedine Zidane.
What does it mean to interview someone who represents so much to an entire generation? And what does it say about the stories we choose to tell, the people we put in the spotlight, and the place we occupy as journalists?

Who gets to tell our stories — and from where?
