The city is coming together to get through it, but many say they're tired of being called upon to be a resilient nation.In this episode:Guest host Mohammed Jamjoom (@MIJamjoom, @mohammedjamjoom); Kamal Mouzawak (@kamalmouzawak); Rana Salam (@ranasalam); Emilie Madi (@emilimadiphotographer).Here are some places to donate to help people in Beirut: The Lebanese Red Cross, INARA, World Central Kitchen, and the fundraiser for Kamal Mouzawak's restaurant.
