Fighting for the rights of Afghan women and girls – with Mina | Ep. #21
This one's been a long time coming... I've been raving about this incredible person to friends and family for months, but this week I'm finally letting some of her light shine on my online networks, too.
Meet Mina, an Afghan women's rights activist whom I've had the privilege of working with for just over 6 months now.
One thing I'm learning about activism is that this stuff takes time and a LOT of patience. Mina continues to show up for her people and for the country she loves, with good and bad days along the way, tackling challenging debates, speeches and articles fighting for the rights and lives of fellow women and girls in Afghanistan.

In this episode we delve into 3 things that excellent language learners do differently.
