Yassine Elhawass
I woke up one day far from home — far from the aunties who still ask.. Why I’m not married yet!! And I thought: how did I end up here?
The answer was one simple, powerful word: 7ourya — Freedom.
But freedom isn’t just a slogan. It’s messy. It’s complicated. It’s hilarious. Especially when you’re an Arab Mediterranean millennial living abroad, navigating identity, culture, masculinity, expat chaos, and the constant pressure to “have it together” even though you’re really just googling “how to be an adult” every two weeks.
I’m Yassine —a man learning how to live between worlds. On this podcast, we talk about freedom in all its dimensions: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to change, the freedom to question everything you were taught, and the freedom to admit that sometimes… you’re tired, confused, and eating candy at 03 a.m. This is a space to be honest, direct, vulnerable, bold — and occasionally dramatic, because come on… I’m an Arab Mediterranean.
If you’ve ever felt caught between cultures, identities, expectations, or versions of yourself… welcome home.
