Mili and her husband, Deep, are passionate about traveling, new cuisine, and culture. Their shared love of travel is in fact one of the things that brought them together and helps keep their love alive. In this episode, as Mili recounts their latest adventure of an international move, it’s obvious she never forgets to pack her sense of humor. Mili’s contagious laughter reminds us that if we will let it, traveling can provide new perspectives, time to connect with loved ones, and a repertoire of stories to share.[/cs_text][x_audio_player src=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/storiesofmycity/201-Mili_in_Paris.mp3″ advanced_controls=”true” preload=”none” autoplay=”false” loop=”false”][x_line style=”border-top-width: 1px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h3″ accent=”false” class=”cs-ta-center”]Fat Chance[/x_custom_headline][cs_text class=”cs-ta-center”]By: Jami Sall and Kenisha Leonhardt

For Omar Ibrahim, art is an extension of existence and self. As a Syrian, he cannot escape the imprint of the ongoing Syrian war upon his life, his family, and his mind … and, therefore, ultimately on his art. It is a reality he reluctantly embraces, while at the same time bravely seeks to change through his artwork and life.

When one thinks of Paris, France, the Eiffel Tower often comes to mind. But in the hip-hop world, Paris is known for its strong beatbox community. Among them is K.I.M.—an acronym for Killer Inside Me—a jolly, full-bearded Frenchman who won the French Beatbox Championship in 2011 with only four years of experience under his belt. In this week’s podcast the talented beatboxer talks about the strength and camaraderie of the French beatbox scene and how he got into the craft, which has now taken him all over the world.[/cs_text][x_audio_player src=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/storiesofmycity/Killer_Inside_Me_FINAL.mp3″ advanced_controls=”true” preload=”none” autoplay=”false” loop=”false”][x_line style=”border-top-width: 1px;”][x_video_embed no_container=”false” type=”16:9″][/x_video_embed][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
