About this episode

Sarah Alami discusses her experiences in Hollywood and the challenges of navigating her identity as a half Irish, half Palestinian actress.

She’s half Irish. She’s half Palestinian. And she’s done pretending that doesn’t matter.In this episode, Sarah Alami talks about breaking into Hollywood, booking major roles, joining SAG… and then watching doors slowly close once she started speaking openly about Palestine. We get into what it’s like growing up between Catholic school and Muslim identity, being told you don’t belong, and then trying to survive in an industry that wants you marketable, not honest.We talk about propaganda, BrownFace, losing representation, organizing inside SAG for a ceasefire, and why staying quiet was never an option. This isn’t a polished PR story. It’s about identity, grief, faith, family, and the price of telling the truth when it’s inconvenient.If you’ve ever felt split between worlds  or punished for saying what you believe...this conversation will hit.
