Sarah's Story, Part I

Real Arabic

In this episode, we share the story of Sarah, a Lebanese woman who went against family pressures to remove her hijab. She originally wrote her story for Freethought Lebanon, under the title 'I Am an Atheist and I Wear the Veil'. She consented for us to adapt and share her story. In part II next week we will share an interview that we had with Sarah about the feedback she received from her article.

Thank you to Dzovig Arnelian, a friend and a wonderful artist for agreeing to record this with us, and to Sarah, for sharing her story and for allowing us to share it too.
