How does growing up between cultures shape our understanding of grief and healing?
In what ways can personal trauma connect to broader societal challenges?
In this episode, we chat with Jihad, a British-Lebanese multimedia producer who navigated life between Sierra Leone and the UK. He opens up about the profound grief and depression he faced after losing his mother to cancer, and how therapy became a crucial tool for overcoming the PTSD that followed.
Jihad reflects on surviving Lebanon's many tragedies and how being surrounded by a distressed population offered him a unique perspective on grief, describing it as a kind of “national group therapy.” He also shares his experiences of living as an openly gay man in a culturally conservative environment, viewing this as a powerful form of activism.
Together, we explore how the wounds from childhood bullying related to his sexuality continue to affect him as an adult, and the importance of addressing these scars through therapy.
