Faiza Rammuny (Expired N Fabulous) is a famous blogger, relationship advisor and Instagram figure who uses her accounts to tackle Arab taboos with comedy. Her short sketches and videos display what it's actually like to be an Arab women, especially one who has grown up in Western society, with a very traditional family.
Faiza starts by telling us how her online platform “Expired N Fabulous” was created (1:10), having the courage to share her traumatic experiences with the public (6:30), what gets people shunned in Arab societies (9:22), and the context behind the name “Expired N Fabulous” (11:53). Faiza then talks to us about disassociating herself from online backlash/hate (14:58), removing her Hijab at the age of 19 (18:08), her way of practicing religion (21:37), how to change the Western perception on Arabs (30:22), and the Muslim dating scene in America (33:34). We then discuss the double standards towards men & women in Arab societies (37:16), how she educates people by being a relationship advisor (43:05), the younger generation raising awareness in the Middle East (45:25), and how Faiza maintains her Arab identity (48:41).
