Rahmani opens up about his early days growing up in Algeria, his travails in the activism space, especially for minority communities, his thought-provoking writing style, and adapting to life in the US even as a minority. He also discusses some of his latest work and what his plans are for the next few years + MORE. It was a pleasure to have Anouar on. Enjoy this amazing episode.
