Multi Kulti Podcast

Multi Kulti is a podcast about culture, identity, and belonging, rooted in the Balkan diaspora but relevant far beyond it. Hosted by Nada and Nejra, we share honest conversations, personal stories, and interviews that challenge stereotypes and celebrate diversity. From tradition and faith to womanhood, migration, and modern life, we explore what it means to grow up between worlds. With warmth, sharp analysis, and humor, Multi Kulti is a space where women and diasporas feel seen and where the Balkans are shown beyond headlines: complex, resilient, and alive.

The Great Coffee War | Season 3, Episode 1 | Multi Kulti Podcast
BOSNIAN COFFEE vs. FRAPPE, choose your fighter! This week, we somehow end up in a very heated debate about one of the most important Balkan questions of our time: cold coffee versus warm coffee. We’re also looking back on our summer, the guests we had on the podcast, and all the changes happening in our lives. Nejra is moving to Bosnia (!!), Nada is of course deep into her upcoming jewelry brand KALESH, and somewhere along the way we also discuss our very chaotic but wholesome summer in Bosnia. For the tattoo we mention: @veca_ink 🖤 ☕️ Want to support Multi Kulti? Buy us a coffee here: https://buymeacoffee.com/multikulti Sign up for the KALESH Sisterhood: www.kaleshjewelry.com
