In this episode, I am in conversation with Farishta Afzaly. Originally from Afghanistan, Farishta grew up mostly in Pakistan but is currently based in the United States, where she is also seeking asylum. In this episode, we talk about some of her personal experiences living in immigration for the most part of her life, while also touching on the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. 

From the entire experience talking to her, I found Farishta to be smart, brave, resilient, and with a strong need to speak up for people’s rights in her country, especially for women. I hope you can take away something from this conversation as I did.
