Rizk grew up in an unusual setting for most first-gen Arabs: a small, rural military town. His identity is not aligned with the people of his hometown, but he is shaped by the experiences he had. He is a practicing medical student with a knack for research that he pursues during the meager free time he has. A well-read individual, he is my news outlet for what goes on in the World. Most of his life is kept private, spending time with close friends and family. In this episode we discuss: -Arab upbringing in a rural town
