Don't Call Me A Khawaga!
Don’t Call Me Khawaga is a podcast for Arab Gen X women navigating identity, aging, relationships, and ambition — without a neat narrative. If you grew up between East & West, between cultures… Between expectations and reinvention… Between being told to stay quiet and now being told to brand yourself… Hosted by Heba Shunbo, this podcast blends sharp humor, cultural commentary, and raw honesty about midlife, marriage, motherhood, career pivots, friendship, regret, ambition, and finding yourself at 40, 45, 50 and beyond. This show is for you. We talk about: Being in midlife without a neat narrative Relationships that didn’t work — even when you tried your best Identity confusion when you’ve lived in more than one world Aging without pretending it’s either tragic or magical And the strange loneliness of being capable, strong… and still unsure This isn’t self-help. It’s self-awareness — with humor.
