From Al-Khalil to Ōtepoti | Rinad Tamimi on Palestine, Identity, Belonging & Humanity

In this powerful episode of Baskets of Knowledge, we sit down with Rinad Tamimi, Palestinian, mother, Dunedin local, and host of The Watermelon Report podcast. Rinad shares her journey from Al-Khalil (Hebron), Palestine, to Ōtepoti (Dunedin), New Zealand, arriving at just 13 years old without the language, culture, or certainty of what life would become. This conversation goes beyond headlines to explore identity, belonging, gratitude, grief, and what it means to be human in today’s world. We talk about growing up Palestinian, navigating racism and displacement, returning home after nine years, parenting through global crisis, and using your voice with responsibility. This episode is about perspective over opinion, humanity over politics, and stories that need to be heard.
