Episode 4 - In Conversation with Ebtehal Badawi

We are honored to share our conversation with Ebtehal Badawi, a Pittsburgh-based artist, activist, mother, and inspiration to many. Ebtehal is a prolific and passionate artist who creates to build bridges and showcase the innate human connection we all have to one another. In 2019 she began an anti-bullying campaign as a direct response to two racist attacks against Muslim students: one was targeted at a student in a neighboring township while in her own high school bathroom, and the other was against her own son on his hockey team.

Using love and creativity in defiance to hate and fear, Ebtehal created a poster that now hangs in local schools and colleges that is intended to remind us that we are all connected, in the city of bridges, as brothers and sisters in peace and love.

We hope you enjoy this powerful conversation with someone who came to art later in life, and is now using all her spirit and energy to create a world where we all belong.
