Episode 6 - Rafik El Hariri | Graphic Designer and Illustrator
With 1 in 4 people living with at least one mental health issue in Lebanon, it is important that the conversation around mental health never ends. And our special guest on this week's episode of "Libnanie with Elie" continues the dialogue of this silent epidemic through his whimsical and wonderful Squid Game-esque illustrations.
Rafik El Hariri, an artist, a university instructor, and a professional night owl, discusses his recent achievement of being featured in the Forbes Middle East 30 Under 30 list, his macabre artworks and their connection to mental health, the power of art during a time of despair, and the impact of social media.
Rafik also recently published a new picture book for adults titled "I Found A Heart" where he explores the topics of mental health, love, and self-discovery. The picture book is available for local and international purchase from Halabi Bookshop here: https://bit.ly/3k8pefJ

Episode 5 - Rebecca Melham | Food and Travel Blogger
Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran once said, “You give but little, when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself, that you truly give”. And our special guest on this week’s brand new episode of “Libnanie with Elie” embodies this very quality.
Rebecca Melham, food and travel blogger of Hearty Food Voyage, joins us all the way from Bordeaux, France to discuss her recent 5-day trip to Lebanon, eating “ashta” ice cream for the very first time, reconnecting with her father’s roots, the cultural difference between Lebanese and Australian people, the mature conversation of children in Lebanon, and grassroots strategies that Lebanese citizens can implement towards a better Lebanon.
In the spirit of giving, the Master of International Law graduate has also produced a YouTube video of her recent trip to Lebanon; raw footage that captures the beauty and charm that we call home. Check out the YouTube video here: https://bit.ly/3vaY1gG. Warning: Keep a box of tissues near you.

Episode 4 - Nisrine El-Choueifati | Speech Therapist
She shares the same birthday as Albert Einstein. She shares the same surname as me. And she shares over 15 years of knowledge as a speech therapist on this week's brand new episode of "Libnanie with Elie"!
Nisrine El-Choueifati, a private speech therapist and part-time lecturer at the Australian Catholic University, discusses how her Lebanese heritage and values have influenced her vocation to serve children and families, the different methods of communication interaction available to support the inclusion and participation of children with additional needs, the importance of a supportive family environment, and the real definition of the common word "respect".
Nisrine has also published a new picture book "I Have A Magic Ball" as a resource for children that encourages different communication interaction methods in a fun and engaging way. The picture book is available for purchase in hardcopy or e-book here: https://linktr.ee/Nisrineelchoueifati

Episode 3 - Camille Lattouf | Lebanese Film Festival Director
From Capernaum to The Insult, and everything in between, the Lebanese Film Festival in Australia has screened over 250 Lebanese-based films from around the world. One might say, it's a gift that keeps on giving.
Lebanese Film Festival director Camille Lattouf, our special guest for this week's episode of "Libnanie with Elie", discusses the importance of showing a piece of the Libnanie on-screen to Lebanese and non-Lebanese audiences, the glamourised representations of the Lebanese Civil War and the Beirut explosion, the valuable contribution of Lebanon's university students to the film industry, and the colourful fusion of Western and Eastern elements in Lebanese art and culture.
Although the current COVID-19 lockdown has postponed the 10th year anniversary of the LFF until next year, Camille drops a major spoiler: the Festival will be bigger and better than ever before.
