From Syria to Australia: The Journey of Sarah and Maya Ghassali
“There's always people willing to help, like I didn't know that when I was struggling with bullying and everything- but there's always someone that you can talk to, even if it's a teacher or a parent or another friend.”
Imagine leaving everything you know behind at the tender age of 10. That's the reality for twins Sarah and Maya Ghassali, who moved from Syria to Australia, a journey that shaped their lives in profound ways. In this episode of Youth and Loud, they open up about their experiences, from the vibrant streets of Syria to the bustling life Down Under.
The twins discuss the hurdles they faced adapting to a new culture, dealing with the media's portrayal of refugees, and the crucial role of community support.

Through their award-winning podcast 'Refugees on Air', Sarah and Maya amplify voices that often go unheard, showing the world the strength found in vulnerability.
They remind us that no act of kindness is too small and that there are always people ready to help. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the power of sharing one's story and the resilience of the human spirit.
