Roqe - Ep #91 - Hoda Jarrah Roqe

A feature interview with pioneer Iranian-American bodybuilder, Hoda Jarrah. Hoda is an entrepreneur, fitness instructor, motivational speaker and a social media influencer. She joins Jian for her first ever interview in English to discuss growing up in a working-class conservative Muslim family in Iran, making it her mission to find independence, and breaking barriers and taboos for Iranian women. Her road has been paved with adversity - including being sentenced to 20 years in prison by Iranian authorities in 2018 - but she has, against all odds, become a powerful force and brand in fitness and business. Plus, the Roqe Team discuses Clubhouse and reads the latest letters from our inbox.
