Episode 3. Today we are here joined Tarek Mrad, host of Heston West Big Local Podcast in the England.

Tarek discusses his cultural experiences as a Lebanese person and how he manages to live independently in a society where having a physical disability can make daily living challenging or unwelcome. Being disabled in a Third World country is extremely difficult because there is no financial assistance from the government and little help for those with physical disabilities. When Tarek was younger, his family moved to England, and they have since lived there. Tarek also talks about how his mother opened her own Lebanese restaurant in England and shares their traditional foods. Tarek discusses his positive and negative experiences with being Lebanese as well as how he has continued to live his best life.
