Centered around Palestine and anti-Zionism, and rooted in musician/activist Ezra Lipp’s own process of political unlearning later in life, the show features conversations with artists, organizers, and others navigating questions of imperialism, colonization, liberation, and the systems shaping our world.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T04:19:21.826634+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-thin-veil-with-ezra-lipp-7793355"},"episode":{"title":"Decolonizing Your Mind: Sarah Al Zanoon on Palestinian Diaspora Identity, Grief, and Unlearning","slug":"decolonizing-your-mind-sarah-al-zanoon-on-palestinian-diaspora-identity-grief-and-unlearning","published_at":"2026-04-06T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-thin-veil-with-ezra-lipp-7793355/decolonizing-your-mind-sarah-al-zanoon-on-palestinian-diaspora-identity-grief-and-unlearning","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-thin-veil-with-ezra-lipp-7793355","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/f52f4207","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/f52f4207/8540cfa5.mp3","summary":"In this conversation, Ezra speaks with Sarah Al Zanoon , a Palestinian-Venezuelan organizer whose family has been directly impacted by the ongoing war in Gaza. They explore Sarah’s experience growing up in the diaspora, navigating identity and belonging, and the process of “decolonizing” her own thinking. Sarah shares what it was like visiting Palestine for the first time, including a moment at a military checkpoint that shifted her understanding in a lasting way. The conversation moves through grief, activism, and the tension of holding both gratitude and devastation at once—while continuing to take action in the face of it. Sarah also speaks about how she channels her grief into organizing, mutual aid, and community-building, and reflects on what hope can look like in a moment that often feels hopeless.
