Episode notes

Nord to Joury tells stories across all different forms of media, whether it's videos, podcasts, writing, or on TV. In 2022, Nord launched her investigative series, Rep. It's a podcast which starts with her own Libyan-American family and then expands outward into a constellation of other voices. For Nord, the process of finding her voice and figuring out how to express herself is a process that started at a very early age.

Do you remember a time you ACTUALLY felt represented in pop culture? For Libyan American journalist Noor Tagouri, those moments of being portrayed in a way that feels real can actually be an important catalyst for positive social change. Noor has spent the last decade of her career in journalism, uncovering hidden stories and challenging biases in the mainstream. In this episode, she talks about the importance of telling a story from all angles–and why searching for truth despite pushback is a scary but necessary part of being human.
