In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Michelle and Samah explore the complexities of cultural appropriation versus cultural appreciation. Sparked by a discussion around wearing a keffiyeh, the conversation broadens to include traditional garments, hairstyles, food, and religious symbols from various cultures. With examples ranging from Sari and dukus to braids and hijabs, Michelle and Samah emphasise the importance of context, historical awareness, and intent. They offer practical advice on how to support underrepresented communities respectfully—through asking questions, doing research, and ensuring purchases directly benefit those cultures. This episode is a powerful reminder that respect, education, and empathy are key to truly honouring the traditions and struggles of marginalised communities.
