Courage, Conscience, Joy: Journalism as Story & Spirituality

Join Ahmed Shihab El-Din, an Emmy-nominated journalist and producer, as he shares his powerful journey from a fragmented Palestinian ancestry to becoming a leading voice in global media. In this deeply personal conversation, Ahmed explores the weight of his name, the complexities of his queer and Palestinian identities, and the spiritual practice of bearing witness to both life and death. He offers a searing critique of mainstream media's "Do You Condemn?" trap, and shares his vision for a journalism of conscience that serves justice and truth. Through stories of intersectional solidarity, the politics of joy, and the courage to honor sadness and pain, Ahmed provides a masterclass in what it means to be a human being in a dehumanizing world.
