Arab Is Me
Arab Is Me is a podcast hosted by comedian, humanitarian, and community organizer Said Durrah that explores Arab identity through honest conversations with artists, activists, entrepreneurs, athletes, scholars, entertainers, and changemakers from across the Arab world and diaspora.
Every guest has a different story. Together, they explore culture, heritage, family, faith, success, struggle, and what it truly means to be Arab.
For too long, others have tried to define Arabs through headlines, politics, and stereotypes. Arab Is Me hands the microphone back to Arabs themselves.
