51 | Rotana | Let's talk about pleasure, sexuality and our bodies!

on today's episode, we have a fulfilling conversation with rotana about something we rarely openly talk about: women's sexual pleasue! rotana is a saudi-born, la-based singer and songwriter, and host of the show, f*d + blessed. with her, we go into the misconceptions taught to us about sexuality and eroticism, what makes us feel most loved by ourselves and in our bodies, the importance of sex education and why it's totally okay (encouraged!) for us to explore and see ourselves as sexual beings.

47 | Let's talk about superiority complex in the arab world!

on this episode, we tackle the big elephant in the room: superiority complex in the arab world! we talk about times when we've encountered people making others feel inferior, whether based on financial status, beauty standards, color of skin, social "class" or the many, many other factors that play into this problem. we talk about the times it's been done to us and even when we've caught ourselves thinking in a way that hints at superiority. we also retell the stories you've sent us and break down why this is a habit/culture we all need to completely say goodbye to!
