Join Stanela as she navigates life as an Arab woman in her mid-thirties, bridging the gap between her upbringing in Lebanon and her new life in Dublin. From comparing the Middle East to a "badly managed council estate" to discovering how Irish "pre-loved" shops sparked a hilarious reflection on the social economics of being a woman, Stanela finds the comedy in the contradictions. It is a story of belonging, survival, and the absurdity of home. Catchy, relatable, and raw—this is life, Beirut-ish style.
