#2 - Shabana Basij-Rasikh on how to live with courage and educating girls

"Education is the most important investment in your life. It's the one thing that no one can take away from you. You could lose your home to a natural disaster, or you could be forced to leave it during a war and become a refugee. So anything you possess materially can be taken away from you, but there's one thing that no one can take away from you is your education, your ability to think for yourself." ~ S. Basij-Rasikh

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have to sneak to school knowing that if you got caught you and your entire family could be killed? That was the reality growing for my guest on this episode, Shabana Basij-Rasikh (@sbasijrasikh). She went on to defy her upbringing by starting a school of her own, SOLA Afghanistan, and is now changing the lives of girls worldwide through her work and activism.
