In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Well Rooted, we sit down with Alana Hadid — a sustainable fashion icon, model, creative director of Watermelon Pictures, soon-to-be two-time author, activist, and proud member of the prestigious and deeply respected Palestinian Hadid family.
Alana opens up about reclaiming narratives, the inevitable evolution we've all experienced over the past two years, the personal and professional cost of speaking her undeniable truth, and what it means to stay rooted in justice when the world demands silence. We talk about the urgency of decolonizing our minds, why we're done softening our voices to make others comfortable, and the fundamental failures of a school system that prioritizes the suffering of some over global understanding and awareness.
This episode is a love letter to those who refuse to look away — a fierce reminder that there is no liberation without truth. And we're no longer qualifying our statements in the face of fascism.
