In this episode, we’re joined by Soumaya, a Darija teacher and content creator based in Casablanca, Morocco, whose work explores language, identity, and decolonization.
Together, we unpack what Moroccan culture really looks like beyond the stereotypes, and why preserving Darija is about more than just language—it’s about reclaiming identity. We dive into how historical occupations continue to shape power dynamics today, and whether people are truly aware of the layers of history that influence how we see ourselves and each other.
We also get into the way “developing countries” are portrayed in Western media, the impact of those narratives, and how they shape both external perceptions and internal self-image.
From questioning what it really means to not support colonial systems in everyday life, to discussing the blurred line between awareness and practicality, this conversation challenges easy answers.
We touch on topics often judged but rarely understood—modern trends like the “trad wife” movement, why they resonate today, and whether tradition can exist without harm.
This episode is an honest, nuanced conversation about culture, power, and perception in a world that often pushes everything into extremes. If you’ve ever questioned how history shapes the present—or how to engage with these topics without getting lost in the noise—this one’s for you.
