In this episode, I sit down with Nini, a psychologist from Georgia, for an intimate exploration of Georgian identity during a time of significant social and political change. We dive deep into her personal journey of discovering her Georgian identity through protest and political activism, challenging the traditional understanding of what it means to be Georgian. The conversation weaves through complex themes of:

• National identity emerging through crisis and protest
• The class divide in Georgian society and its impact on national unity
• The relationship between pro-Russian sentiment and Georgian identity
• How Georgian women navigate and shape modern Georgian identity
• The role of anger, survival, and historical trauma in shaping national consciousness
• The tension between traditional values and liberal aspirations

Through Nini's perspective as a woman and professional, we examine how Georgian identity is being redefined by a new generation, and what this means for Georgia's future. This episode continues our ongoing exploration of how national identity shapes and is shaped by personal experience, political circumstances, and social change.
