In this episode of Something to Consider, we dive into a conversation with Zak Jarallah, founder and creative director of Ajdadi Collective, a clothing brand and social enterprise that combines traditional Palestinian tatreez (embroidery) with streetwear. Zak's mission is driven by the idea of celebrating heritage as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity. He shares moving stories about his love for his homeland, traditions that have shaped his view of the world, and the rich cultural tapestry and heritage of Palestine. We explore the complexities of navigating cultural identity and discuss how embracing one's roots can lead to a stronger, more integrated sense of self. We hope you will find something to consider.
