A Conversation with My Dad

This episode is a special one.

It’s a conversation I recently had with my dad, Chaouki Tabet.

There are some interesting stories that I’ve heard bits and pieces of over the years but I’ve never actually sat down to have a conversation about them with my dad.

For instance, I know he emigrated from Algeria on his own without any family, but I’ve never heard him describe what that was actually like for him.

I know he has faced racism firsthand here in America, even from some surprising culprits, but I’ve never asked him to share those stories or what it felt like.

And one day I realized there’s so much more about him and his journey that I don’t know, and I’ll never know, unless I ask him about it. So that’s what I did!

Thankfully, not only was he willing to talk with me about these things and more, he was also willing to record it so it could be shared with the world.

Consider it one Algerian’s perspective.

As always, if you give it a listen, I’d love to know what you think!

And at the very least, maybe it will inspire you to consider any stories or questions you might want to ask your own parents or family about.
