Maisa Morrar is a Palestinian woman and dedicated advocate with over 18 years of active involvement in Palestinian organizing spaces. As the daughter of Palestinian immigrants—her mother hailing from Venezuela and her father from Palestine—Maisa embodies a unique blend of cultural identity.

A founding member of both the Healthcare Workers for Palestine Bay Area and the Palestinian Feminist Collective, Maisa is driven by a profound sense of justice and solidarity. Her work amplifies the voices and struggles of Palestinians, particularly through the intersection of healthcare, gender, and activism.

In this episode, Maisa shares multiple anecdotes about Palestine and how it changed over the years through her eyes. She opens up about the complexities of identity and cultural preservation, the interconnected histories of Palestine and Latin America, and discusses what liberation can look like for all of us.

Keep up with Maisa through Palestinian Feminist Collective and Healthcare Workers for Palestine Bay Area.
