Weaving Identity: Lina on Turning Tatreez into Business, Story, and Community
Description
In this episode of Siti’s Stories, host Laila sits down with Lina — a Palestinian-Panamanian creative, founder of Llinas thobe, and co-host of the podcast Tatreez Talk.
Lina’s work is rooted in tatreez but she’s reimagining it through her own lens. From starting a business that helps others make their own thobes, to designing motifs that reflect her dual heritage, Lina is reshaping tradition into something deeply personal and powerfully communal.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How Lina turned tatreez into a thriving business
- Blending Palestinian and Panamanian identity through design
- Creating her own modern motifs while honoring tradition
- Storytelling through embroidery and fashion
- Co-hosting podcast Tatreez Talk to uplift and highlight fellow tatreezer’s
- The power of building community through culture and craft
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt called to honor their roots while making something new.
