Omeed (Hope)

The Afghan diaspora has struggled for generations as empires have arrived in our country, fought for control, and left a trail of despair leading back home. It has always been known as the country that could never be conquered. The cost of this reputation for resilience are generations of instability. After 20 years of some social and political progress, our country faces another struggle for control. No one can say for certain what the future holds for the people of Afghanistan, and no one denies the the turmoil that the Afghan community faces in this moment. However, we must remember that no one can restore social and political progress in Afghanistan except the Afghan people themselves. This episode aims to remind people of the diaspora that, together, we have the best interest of Afghanistan in mind. Only we can succeed at restoring safety, stability, and peace in Afghanistan. To do so, we must maintain faith, hope, and unity in these times of hardship. #SaveAfghanistan

Om Podcasten

This podcast is dedicated to the women of Afghanistan and serves to strike a dialogue about some of the taboos in Afghan culture. Despite the common knowledge that women have faced varying forms of oppression in our community, the subject or domestic violence is still considered to be taboo amongst Afghans. We hope that by sharing the stories of survivors, we can continue the conversation on DV in Afghan homes, so our community may begin to heal together. We will also share the narratives of trailblazing Afghan women who have left an impact on society in Afghanistan and anywhere else in the world. We hope that our episodes will spark new ambitions among our listeners and ultimately eliminate the silence on important issues that serve as a barrier to our success.
