About The Greater Conversation

It's easier to be yourself if you can see yourself.

What is The Greater Conversation?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re balancing identities, expectations, and your own path, welcome to *The Greater Conversation*.

Hi! I’m Alya Mooro—an Egyptian-born, London-raised writer, author, and storyteller. This is a space for the introspective, the questioners, and the boundary-pushers—those navigating the complexities of identity, culture, and self-discovery.

I began my career as a journalist covering music, technology, and identity for *Grazia*, *MTV*, and others. But as I explored my own story, I began asking what it really means to live authentically, beyond expectations. My 2019 book, *The Greater Freedom*, dove deeply into these themes, and this newsletter is a space where I continue sharing that journey. Here, you’ll find reflections on what it means to seek freedom in a complex world, alongside insights and stories that inspire me along the way.

I've always believed it’s easier to explore, grow, and question when we know others are on similar paths. *The Greater Conversation* is a place to find that reassurance, to reflect on identity and the courage it takes to be oneself, and to find community in the shared pursuit of something greater.

**What to Expect:**

- Honest, thought-provoking reflections on identity, culture, and personal growth

- Behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process in books, TV, and storytelling

- Inspiration from the books, shows, and people shaping my journey

- An invitation to join a community of curious minds who value connection, reflection, and meaningful conversations

Subscribers often say that *The Greater Conversation* helps them feel seen and connected, and I hope this space can offer that same reassurance and courage to you. By subscribing, you’re joining a growing community of people seeking, questioning, and finding their own way—and for those who want even more, becoming a paying subscriber unlocks exclusive insights and supports the work I do.

Thank you for being here, and welcome to *The Greater Conversation*—let’s grow, question, and find meaning together.
