Zindaab!
Ahmed and I come from two different worlds of Yemen and Balochistan, where our cultures have had a profound impact on us growing up and have largely shaped the people we have become today. Our podcast, called “Zindaab!” is a living witness to our experiences. In each segment of our podcast, we explore different aspects of our uniquely beautiful cultures and how they have changed and shaped our unique ways of living in the world. In this first episode, we talk about a traditional Balochi doch made by indigenous Baloch women of Balochistan and how, throughout the course of my life, I have struggled to understand its value and cultural significance until my exchange year in the USA.
