Fadi Kattan is a Palestinian Chef from Bethlehem, owner of two restaurants: Akub in London and Fawda in Bethlehem.
He has also recently launched his first cookbook - Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food.
I had the pleasure of sitting across the table from Fadi in his restaurant.
We talked about resilience, community, deep roots and the importance of preserving and celebrating the ancient culture of the Palestinian people.
We also finish the episode with him sampling a bowl of red bean soup made from my grandfather's slow cooker. An exchange of stories and cultures passed down through generations - in the form of a comforting bowl of soup.

Elaine Lin Hering is a facilitator, speaker and writer who has recently launched her national bestseller book UNLEARNING SILENCE.
It's a book about the pervasive influence of silence.
How we've learned to be silent, how we've benefited from silence, how we've silenced others -and how we might choose another way.
Join us for an honest and reflective conversation about her book and how we might use our voices to be heart, to create spaces in which other people can be heard, and understading how power, identity, privilege and learned patters lead us to silence.

Sathnam Sanghera is a British journalist and the Sunday Times bestselling author of Empireland: How Modern Britain is Shaped by its Imperial Past.
He has recently launched the highly-anticipated, acclaimed sequel to Empireland, Empireworld: How British Imperialism Has Shaped the Globe.
In our conversation, we chat through the paradoxical legacies raised in his book through the lens of someone (me!) who was born and raised in an ex-British Colony, Malaysia.
Book Empireland and Empireworld made me see how intricately woven my life (and life choices) have been with the complex (and often contradictory) legacies of the British Empire.
Sathnam is also author of the novel Marriage Material and the memoir The Boy With The Topknot, (a memoir that was heartbreaking, laugh out loud funny, and tender in equal parts)

Nathalia is a Lebanese spoken word artist, living in London and exploring ideas of cultural identity and belonging through the power of spoken word.
We explore ideas around where 'home' is, the power of language and our 'mother tongue', reconnecting with our roots, our traditions, and the desire to connect through language and art.

Paff Evara is a Writer, Creator and Futurist.
They are a Co-Founder of Take Up Space - a community led media company and platform for culture makers, experimenting with Blockchain and co-creation to help creators monetise their most authentic work.
In this conversation, we talk about their evolution journey, growing up as a mixed race, queer, and later diagnosed neurodivergent Australian - finding belonging in different communities, and holding spaces for others in their quest to create inclusive spaces.
I loved Paff's reference to how they're grappling with how we might create inclusive spaces on top of oppressive systems, and the importance of taking a step back to figure out how we might dismantle these systems.
Complex concepts without easy answers, but an important one to grapple with.
Enjoy our conversation!

Rafia Zakaria is a Pakistani-American attorney, feminist, journalist and author of an eye opening book I’d recently read - ‘Against White Feminism.’
She believes in an expanded feminist conversation that involves retrieving stories around the world - widening our vocabulary of feminist strength across different cultures.
She says: “We need to excavate and retrieve stories that will lead to an expanded self understanding necessary for a universal feminist consciousness.”
“We need a project of retrieval, because we have an incomplete picture of feminism right now.”
Despite its provocative title, this book is not a scolding but an invitation.
An invitation to examine our own complicity within oppressive, capitalist structures, and to embark on our journey of 'unlearning' in order to rebuild a new and better world.

I'm kicking off 2024 with Tim Leberecht, author, entrepreneur and Co-Founder of the House of Beautiful Business, a global think tank and community on a mission to make humans more human and business more beautiful.
In this episode, we explore Tim's intentions for 2024, the value (and difficulty) of thoughtful dissent, the different roles we can all play in social change (from activism to stroytellers) and what 'Between the Two of Us' means - the theme of his upcoming 2 part festival for the Life-Centred Economy in May and Sept this year.
We also talk about what makes him an unapologetic romantic today (prompted by his book 'The Business Romantic').
Enjoy our chat and I hope 2024 finds you well.

Let's call this the end of year bonus special because in this episode, I talk to my first ever boyfriend from ‘high school’.
Dr Andrew Chin is a shark scientist, who runs a fisheries lab at James Cook University. He has worked at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and his research has focused on coastal ecology and fisheries, particularly sharks and rays.
But we discuss NONE of this (which would have undoubtedly been fascinating) because we decide to get into the REAL stuff like teenage torment, his evolving relationship with religion, being jealous of Bono from U2 (!), his thoughts on modern masculinity and grappling with his mixed race heritage.
I almost chickened out from sharing this recording because it felt intensely personal. But our conversation also felt like unfolding an old letter tucked away in the corner of my attic and discovering that it still sparkled.
So in the end, it felt like a conversation worth sharing. An exercise in bravery, vulnerability and a big dose of crazy. Enjoy!Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/

Angela Saini is an award winning British Science journalist, broadcaster and author. Her most recent book, "The Patriarch: How men came to rule" was the focus of our conversation in Episode 8 , Season 1.
Given the fact that 'the patriarchy' was mentioned at least 10 times in the Barbie movie, I thought it'd be fun (and insightful!) to speak to Angela again about whether the patriarchy is indeed about horses, and what her favourite moments in the movie were.

Welcome to my first guest for Season 2!
Lori Meakin, author of 'No More Menemies' talks about how we get past the gender wars and 'menemies' mindset to build a better world that serves us all.But instead of telling men how they should change, she’s spent hours talking to all kinds of men, from undergrads to grandads, to understand what it feel like to be a man right now; and to try and find reasons why men might want to lean in to gender equality.
Our conversation is insightful, and hopefully one that will get you thinking about how we can cross this gender divide with compassion and open hearts.
