A proposito di questo titolo

We often think of stories as an escape. But sometimes, a story does the opposite.

It pulls us closer to ourselves.In this episode of Something to Consider, we sit with Sara Hamdan, a Palestinian American journalist-turned-novelist whose debut book, What Will People Think, explores identity, belonging, and the quiet tensions we inherit.

Sara’s life has unfolded between worlds - raised in Greece, shaped by Palestine, and now based in Dubai. Her work holds humor and grief in the same breath, excavating family histories, cultural expectation, and the private negotiations that shape who we become.

We talk about the long road to creative courage, the cost of choosing yourself, the role of joy amid intergenerational trauma, and what it means to stop running and start sustaining a life that feels aligned.

This is a conversation about writing as remembrance, storytelling as resistance, and belonging as something we may have to invent for ourselves. We hope you will find something to consider.
