Being Aloud
Hello! My name is Bee Bishay-- an Egyptian writer who is desperately trying to carve out room for more authentic, off-scripted conversations. Despite a society that places a subtle (though very heavy) expectation on all of us to follow the same path, life has shown me--the very hard way--that things don't always go as planned. In fact, I've learned that though we may spend days and nights clearly mapping out the details of our futures, our lives *rarely ever* unfold as expected. And as harsh of a smack on our human pride as it is, the fact is that we don't really have very much control at all.So why do we insist on shaming ourselves when life doesn't go as we'd expected? Why is it so hard for us to embrace the stickiness of our frail humanity? These are the questions I attempt to explore throughout the Being Aloud podcast--a place where we're not afraid to be our messy, imperfect, un-linear human selves, out loud!
