What does it mean to create beauty in the midst of exile? 

Photographer and activist Fatimah Hossaini was forced to flee Kabul when the Taliban returned, but not before capturing the untold grace, power, and resilience of Afghan women through her lens.

In this episode, Fatimah shares the story behind her escape, her fight to reclaim the image of Afghan womanhood, and how photography became both her rebellion and her refuge. 

From confronting patriarchy to rebuilding identity in exile, this is a conversation about courage, creativity, and what it truly means to be free, even in the middle of a war zone.
