Unapologetic: The Third Narrative

UTTN Goes International Episode 1 - B8 of Hope Jul 06, 2025

We know it's been a while, and we've missed you! So much has happened since our last release, but we have great news to share soon. In the meantime, we’re thrilled to return with the first of three new episodes in our international series!

In this episode, Amira sits down with our lovely guest, Mehra Rimer, in the heart of B8 of Hope to get to know both the person and the powerful work behind the organization. From grassroots initiatives to cross-border connections, Mehra brings depth, compassion, and hope to a moment that calls for all three.

B8 of Hope is a Swiss-registered non-profit association promoting peace-building and transformative grassroots initiatives within both Palestinian and Israeli civil societies. “Beit” resonates with the meaning of “home” in both Arabic and Hebrew, forging a bridge between languages and cultures. The number 8 represents the eight co-founders of this extraordinary alliance, whose roots span Swiss, Canadian, Indian, Iranian, Israeli, and Palestinian backgrounds.👉 Click here to learn more

We feature three extraordinary women who share their deeply moving accounts of the 1948 war and the Palestinian Nakba, recounting the experiences they and their families endured. Their stories are not just history—they are a mirror to the injustices that continue to unfold.

To our Palestinian audience, this is a heartfelt reminder: we must preserve our grandparents’ stories and safeguard our history. The Nakba’s legacy lives on, and if we don’t document and pass these narratives down, they risk being erased forever.
