Palestinian Hustle with Samer Fidy

<p>This week Lara and Michael sit down with the founder and CEO of Palestinian Hustle, Samer Fidy. We cover the journey that led Samer to start the Palestinian-owned small business that donates a portion of every sale to charities in the United States fighting food insecurity, and NGOs on the ground in Gaza providing clean water. The idea for the company stems from his desire to teach his children about responsibility, showing appreciation, and giving back to both your local and global communities. We joke about his affinity for Starbucks and whether or not you should strike up a conversation with your barista about Palestine. Samer surprises us with his background in finance, then shares wild stories about his time living in Palestine. We discuss the impact of being political online versus fighting the occupation with music, clothing, and dance. Finally, The Palestine Pod announces a limited merch drop in collaboration with Palestinian Hustle, available on both our websites. </p>
