inbetweenish • bridges across cultures
If you're generally confused about where you belong, you may have just stumbled into the right place! The inbetweenish is exactly what it sounds like: it's about the space in-between, where it's neither here nor there, where you don't fit neatly into a box.
Through open conversations with people from all walks of life, we will share personal stories about growing up in numerous countries, amongst different faiths, speaking multiple languages, and integrating into new and diverse cultures. Join me, your host, Beatriz Nour, as I navigate the delicate dynamics of growing up inbetweenish.

What if you don’t fit the stereotype?
In this episode, Sadia Azmat, a published author, podcast host and a stand-up comedian, brings a unique perspective to the discussion on cultural identity. Sadia is born in Britain to Indian parents and she is also a practicing Muslim, however, she does not quite fit the perception people tend to have of her. She shares her journey with embracing her hijab and how it became complicated due to media narratives and misconceptions surrounding it. Sadia also touches on her experiences dealing with cultural expectations, relationships, and finding peace within herself.
