Episode 13 - Eid, Through A Woman’s Eyes🤍 22.03.2026

I reflect on Eid through a woman’s perspective, including the experiences of Afghan women and women everywhere.

Next episode, we’ll explore comparison!

In this episode, I talk about something every woman deserves but too often goes without: support. Not as a luxury, not as a favor, but as a human need.

This is a hopeful, honest conversation about humanity, responsibility, and the power of showing up for...

Episode 2 - When Women Are Taught to Be Small🤍 30.12.2025

In this episode of Her Land Her Legacy Podcast, I reflect on how silence, shame, and judgement shape women’s lives across cultures, families and communities.
