Join us this Wednesday for a chat with Hawraa Khalfan (@hawraawrites) as she spills the tea on her upcoming book inspired by the lives of Khaleeji (Gulf) women. She dishes on the struggles she's faced as a Kuwaiti writer and how her identity and the stories of the women around her fuel her writing. We also dive into the experience of growing up as a Shia minority in Kuwait and draw parallels between different Middle Eastern cultures. Plus, we get the scoop on why she decided to break a conventional writing rule in her book and the backlash from her peers that followed. All this and more in this week’s episode!
