Today’s guest Nagham Wehbe is a research analyst, an artist and a human rights advocate. The truth that’s having the biggest impact on her life right now? Being present.
In the interview we talked about the play she wrote and produced — Confessions of an Arab Woman which was adapted from Joumana Haddad’s book, I Killed Scheherazade: Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman. It was the first play she ever wrote, let alone produced and it was a wild success. We talked about the trust that went into a project like that, as well as the support, collaboration, and balancing such a huge undertaking with a full time job. We also geeked out on how her passion for theater and background in science intersect and what happened for the people who participated in the play. I love love loved hearing about Nagham’s stories and experiences. Enjoy and share!
