In this engaging conversation, Azeeza is joined by childhood friend Shakirat Gold Olufadi, as they delve into the themes of Khalid Hosseini's 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. We explore the emotional depth of the characters, the resilience of women in the face of oppression, and the impact of the historical context of the war in Afghanistan on the lives of the characters. We also discuss Shakirat's own journey as a published author and her book, 'Medithrive', which offers guidance for young adults navigating life's challenges.

In this conversation, Shakirat and Azeeza delve into the themes of war, trauma, and resilience.
