Isolationcast #12: Zeba Talkhani on finding freedom and creativity in lockdown

Zeba Talkhani's memoir My Past Is a Foreign Country: A Muslim Feminist Finds Herself is extraordinary, charting her experience growing up in Saudi Arabia and her journey to find freedom in India, Germany and the UK. It is an absolutely fascinating read and I loved chatting to Zeba about it – as well as her path to self acceptance after her hair began to fall out, and how the lockdown has affected her creativity. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
