Calling Zahra

This episode features Zahra Wakilzada, a student, poet, war-survivor, and activist of Afghan descent.

In this episode, we talk through Zahra’s journey to writing, her effort to balance competing identities (by asking questions like ‘what does it mean to be an Afghan-American?) and the role of poetry and language in social justice, policy, politics … and more.
