Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes with Author Alya Mooro

Alya Mooro is a Cairo-born, London-raised author who is passionate about changing assumptions and preconceptions about Middle Eastern women. We discuss shame, guilt, love, sex, marriage, interracial relationships, community pressure, cultural identities and what it's like to be an outsider. We also talk about the reality of writing a book that goes against the grain by celebrating your own freedom.

Alya's debut book, The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes is Part memoir, part social commentary, the book examines the blessings and burdens which form our cultural identities. Pulling from personal experiences, research, and conversations with other Middle Eastern women, the book focuses on the difficulties and misconceptions which many women face.
