In this sixth episode of Abratalks, Chama Mechtaly shares her deeply personal journey of navigating identity, belonging, and activism as a woman born into a mixed Muslim and Jewish family in Morocco.
Through her story, we explore the power of intersectionality, art, and cultural syncretism in shaping personal and collective narratives. From her early years in Morocco to her discovery of activism in the US, Chama reflects on what it means to live at the crossroads of identities and how that position can foster resilience, understanding, and peace-building.
