This podcast was recorded in German. Note on sound quality: The voice of our guest was changed at her request.
Today’s guest is Busenfreundin listener Mariam (name changed by us). The 42-year-old has never come out to her Arab family.
At the age of 36, she realized that she loved women and began her journey to her true “self”. It was a rocky road full of self-doubt, fears and anger.
What advice would Mariam give to other Muslim people who feel similarly and can only live their queerness to a very limited extent? This episode is a longing look at freedom.
