In this powerful, wide-ranging conversation, Merle sits down with returning guest Suhein Beck to trace the extraordinary arc of her life—from being a Circassian exile from the North Caucasus, to a Syrian refugee, to facing racism and gang terror in America. Suhein shares what it means to live between cultures, how language became both a bridge and a form of survival, and why true understanding can begin with something as simple (and profound) as a one-on-one connection.

Together, Merle and Suhein explore identity, belonging, courage, and the real cost of starting over—again and again. This episode is a reminder that our stories are shaped not only by what we endure, but by the relationships that help us reclaim our voice.

(Part 2 continues the conversation with Suhein with a deeper focus on grief, legacy, and “not losing yourself as you lose others.”)
