I Don‘t Speak Darija, But They Still Welcomed Me // moroccan diaspora diary ep. 1

hey hey, I’m Aliya and part Moroccan. I’ve struggled to feel worthy of that identity. Growing up disconnected from the language and culture, I’ve always felt like I wasn’t “enough.” In this first episode of the Moroccan Diaspora Series, I return to my father’s country to reconnect with my roots. This is what it felt like seeing my relatives again — navigating love, distance, and the silence of a shared language I don’t speak. I keep asking myself: Can you truly belong when your identity is postmigrant, mixed, and vague? This is Day 1 of exploring that question. Come and dive on this journey of self-exploration and identity with me.
