Mo and Shayma are siblings and the children of Egyptian immigrants. Shayma works in the justice system and dedicates her life to supporting those within the system every day, but she never thought her brother would be one of them. Mo started using substances at the age of 14. Over the years his drug use steadily increased and to feed his habit he turned to crime, which eventually lead to his arrest. Join Mark and Mick as they talk to Mo and Shayma about their journey from opposing sides of the system and their surprisingly similar experiences of familial struggles, feelings of failure and hopes for the future.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land Time to ReBuild is recorded on, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. We must always remember that under the concrete and asphalt this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
