The Truth About the Middle East | Yusuf Omar

The Truth About the Middle East | Yusuf Omar

Yusuf Omar is not just an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Seen.tv — he’s also a dear friend. We filmed this episode right in the middle of Web Summit in Doha, inside the iHeart Podcast booth, while chaos buzzed around us — and somehow, this still turned into one of the most grounded, honest conversations I’ve had.

We talk about the shift in his personal beliefs after Gaza, why content creators need to speak up, and what it’s really like living in the Middle East as a global citizen. We also get into identity, racism, and the guts it takes to challenge narratives with your platform.
