The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Arzo Yusuf – Zindabad Afghanistan
This episode is one intense and emotional conversation about Afghanistan, the veil of oppression, and the US influences. This is about a connection to a home country; it is about untold stories and education.
Arzo Yusuf, my Afghan-American guest, is the Executive Director of Angel's Nest helping foster youth with resources. She is also a social impact entrepreneur of an indie beauty brand, a portion of proceeds is donated to helping foster youth and sex trafficking survivors. She is also a political asylum refugee born in Afghanistan and displaced after the Soviet invasion. In this episode, she shared her story and that of her family.
Being born in Afghanistan around the war, her family fled to safety in America, where they eventually settled. Her connection with Afghanistan, her firsthand knowledge about what is going on in Afghanistan, and her involvement in helping the people in her community are why I chose to have this conversation with her. The media has sold us their story, which isn't always the whole story. This episode is raw, real, informative, and educational all at the same time.
We want you to be a part of this conversation. Share any contribution you have on any social media platform by using the hashtag - #Afghantalk and we will find you.
PS: Thanks to dad, Mr. O.O Ogunsanya for providing some questions to enrich this episode.
