Going Against the Norm with Hira Aftab – Walk Talk Listen (Episode 216)
In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Hira Aftab — founder of Our World Too, a platform dedicated to re-humanizing narratives around refugees and displaced communities, and co-founder of The Hybrid Tours, a social enterprise blending travel and social impact, is our guest.
Hira reflects on her journey as a “third-culture kid” growing up between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, and how her lived experiences shaped her commitment to dignity-centered communications. She talks about pushing back against expectations, carving her own path outside the family tradition of medicine, and why her chosen song speaks to her:
“…that speaks to me, because I feel … going against the norm, doing what I did, and how I did it.”
With two master’s degrees and her engagement as an ACWAY Fellow, Hira brings clarity, courage, and compassion to every space she enters — from storytelling to peacebuilding.
