Reviving the Roots: Decolonizing Identity Through Story and Solidarity (1/2)

Sarah Hemeida & Sarah Ahmed

In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Nour Sagha (@actually.caucasian), a voice for the Indigenous Caucasian diaspora, to explore what it means to reclaim identity in a world shaped by erasure. Nour speaks candidly about the trauma of the Circassian genocide, the deep work of cultural revitalization, and the healing power of radical solidarity. Together, we unpack how decolonizing the self and centering community can be transformative—both for our own grounding and for the generations that come after us. Whether you're navigating questions of heritage, faith, or belonging in today’s America, this episode offers a roadmap toward rootedness and renewal.
