Fawda Twenty Twenty pairs a group of friends who find themselves in an unusual situation during the early stages of their supposed careers. They’ll be having a series of discussions with diverse guests from all walks of life. The goals are simple: provide entertaining content, breakdown Middle Eastern stigma and inspire unemployed people to pursue unconventional career paths. Drinks, entertaining conversations, unique perspectives and screwing around…does this count as a coping mechanism? #fawda2020 #nourhajjar #lebanesecomic #fadyraidy'See also:
