Hi, this is Dana. We won't be releasing any new episodes for the next couple of months.

We're away producing and reporting our autumn season, which will be out in September. But in the

meantime, we want to bring back a few of our favorite episodes from the past. And if you're new to

Kernan cultures, you might not have heard them

before. So we hope you enjoy them. This week's episode is called Loving Lynn. It's one of my favorites.

I want to tell you a story at the school by the kids. One day, they had fight, I think,

with the kids, and they told my one of my daughter,

your mother is Filipina, the word cadema. How do you say it in...

Khademi, it means maid.

And then they didn't tell me nothing. They come home.

And then I think I shouted at Amanda because she did something wrong.

And then she said, you are a Philippine, you are a, you are a, you are a, into Philippinea, you're going to have you. I said, it's the first time, you know, first time I heard from her. I said, why are you telling me like that, Amanda? Yes, because they told me in the school yesterday you are a Filipinoi or you're Kadami.

And I'm going to tell you, you're a Khademi, you're a Filipino, and I'm up Habbik.

Lynn's daughter's telling her you're a Khademe, you're a maid, and I'm not

Bhabi.

I don't love you.

Today, we're bringing you a story from Lebanon.

It's a story about the challenges of a particular

kind of love, an uncommon kind and to some unwelcome kind of love. Because Lynn, whom you

just heard, is from the Philippines, and Botros, her husband, is from Lebanon.

And today, their love story.

I'm Hibah Fisher, and you're listening to Kearning cultures,
