EP10 (S1) - Creep

Embark on a profound exploration of identity as Amy, an Israeli-American of Hungarian descent, invites listeners into her world as she reflects on her childhood in in the late 80s and early 90s in New York City—a time when cross-cultural friendships and diverse experiences shaped her understanding of belonging. However, the joy of those formative years stands in stark contrast to the divisive landscape of present-day identity politics, where Amy finds herself pigeon-holed both in Israel and the US.

Throughout the episode, Amy bravely shares her personal journey, navigating the complexities of feeling fragmented and struggling to find continuity and stability. As she grapples with the challenge of being labeled and boxed in by society, Amy articulates the profound struggle of feeling like an outsider looking in.

Joined by co-host Dor, the conversation delves into the limitations of identity politics and the importance of celebrating diversity authentically rather than merely tolerating differences. Amy and Dor offer insights, challenges, and an inspiring vision for a world where differences are embraced and celebrated.

The episode culminates in a poignant rendition of "Creep," capturing the emotional depth and complexity of Amy's reflections on identity and belonging. Join Amy and Dor on a transformative journey through the intricacies of identity, offering hope, understanding, and the possibility of a more inclusive and harmonious future.
