19. Gazan Girl on Palestine in Media, Colonization, Intergenerational Trauma, and More.

This week's storyteller is Lara E, also known as Gazan Girl. Lara is a Palestinian American international lawyer and activist, and a resource that I use when learning and educating myself on Palestinian current affairs. She acts as counsel in international disputes and dedicates a large part of her legal practice to human rights work, including accompanying asylum seekers in asylum proceedings before French jurisdictions. ⠀  Lara also has a weekly podcast called The Palestine Pod that she co-hosts with Jewish American comedian Michael Schirtzer. They talk all things Palestine, and of course in this conversation, we also talk all things Palestine. We go into an analysis of the Media's representation of the Palestinian struggle; we go into Lara's personal story, her family story, intergenerational trauma, and we get into detailed descriptions of her favorite Palestinian dish, which is also one of my favorite Palestinian dishes. All this and more on Podcast Noor. ⠀  Follow Lara:  www.instagram.com/gazangirl  www.twitter.com/thegazangirl ⠀  Follow Noor:  www.instagram.com/noor  www.tiktok.com/@noorMore Podcast Noor:  www.noortagouri.com/podcastnoor  www.ays.media
