Hey y’all, Reema here. I just wanted to say thank you all for the overwhelming support and kind messages I received in response to the episode about my family in Gaza. It was scary sharing something so personal, but I was heartened to hear how much it touched and resonated with so many of you all. My dad also loved reading your messages. I hope to share more personal reflections and updates with you all in future newsletters.
