This week on Reflections in the Frame, Meesh (Mish’al Samman) returns not with a spotlight story, but with a quiet manifesto for the misfits, the multi-hyphenates, and the ones who never fit the mold. From turbulent skies as a flight attendant to code-as-narrative in engineering school, to detours that became destinations, Meesh dismantles the myth of linear success. These aren’t just reflections on past roles, they’re reminders that the path doesn’t have to make sense to be meaningful. Expect stories about invisible labor, reframing rules, and how logic and storytelling can be allies. At its core, this episode is a love letter to the scenic route, and to those still brave enough to take it.
