  • Ep. 153: From Gaza to Bethlehem, Palestinians Resist to Exist | Lucy Talgieh

    From her balcony in Bethlehem, Deputy Mayor Lucy Talgieh can see the horizon that leads to Gaza, a landscape divided by walls and decades of conflict. In this powerful episode, Lucy shares what life is like for Palestinian women caught between hope and hardship.


    She speaks about the realities of displacement, restricted movement, and economic collapse—and yet, she insists that resilience endures. “We resist to exist,” she says, describing how women continue to hold families and communities together amid devastation. 


    Recorded before the October 2025 ceasefire, this conversation remains a searing reminder of how fragile peace can be—and how women’s courage keeps it alive.

  • Ep. 146: Tausug Youth Talks the Impact of Sulu’s Separation from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region
    On September 9, 2024, the Supreme Court of the Philippines released a decision separating the Province of Sulu from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). This is despite the historical role of Sulu in igniting the Bangsamoro struggle for self-determination right from its beginning in the late 1960s to the present. To many, this is a paradox. In this episode, Amina Rasul-Bernardo talks with three young Tausugs from Sulu to analyze the impact of the decision.
