PODCAST
For more than a year, Voices in Mosaic has been curating thoughtful questions and bringing guests together to explore culture, identity, and the stories that shape us. At the heart of this podcast is a simple but powerful idea: giving people the space to share their stories in their own words.
As a listener, remember, these are perspectives, not prescriptions. This is not an attempt to impose a single truth. It’s an invitation to listen, to reflect, and to understand that our narratives are often far more complex than what we’ve been led to believe.

Episode 5 – Italian on Paper, Tunisian in People’s Eyes
In this fifth episode, Lyna sits down with Amira, an Italian-Tunisian woman. In this episode, we explore identity, belonging, and the weight of labels that don’t always reflect reality.
