Episode TWO - Isra Zul, Poet & Changemaker

Isra Zul is a poet, changemaker and at such a young age, her insight into what it means to be a South Asian woman in our generation really struck a chord with me. We talk about what it means to be a woman in our community and the responsibilities that come with it. Isra also talks about her aspirations as a poet and her dream to write a book based on the common phrase ‘log kya kahenge’ - a term that has killed the dreams of many young millennials. This term directly translates to 'what will people say?' Tune in to find out how at the age of just 20, her life experiences have motivated her to help many other young girls in our community.
