Hello and welcome to a new episode of the Paul Olubayo presents: The Conversation.
My guest this week is Tracy Jawad.
My Conversation with Tracy focuses upon the State of Affairs within Lebanon 6 and half months on from the August 4th explosion at the Beirut port which claimed the lives of more than 200 people and effected so many more.
Within this conversation we touch upon a number of different issues including; the myth of the global economy, the need for accountability and the populations who are left behind following large scale violations such as this.
Tracy is a Lebanese Citizen. A political researcher & writer who has worked with the United Nations in New York City & the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut. At the time of recording, Tracy’s most recent publication is entitled “Lokman Slim’s Assassination: A Warning” and looks at the death of Free Speech within Lebanon. And is available at the following link (https://daraj.com/en/66053/)
Tracy has also been kind enough to provide the names and links to a number of mental health organisations with Lebanon doing amazing things.

I am deeply thankful to Tracy for her honesty and insight into what was a deeply personal experience and I hope you all enjoy our conversation and are able to learn from Tracy's account.
