Episode: "They Are Missing Our Side Of The Story" -- An Afghan Human Rights Activist Speaks Out
Description: Zubaida Akbar is an Afghan human rights activist living in Washington, D.C. She is desperately trying to get vulnerable people out of the country, including a group of female journalists who are almost certainly marked for execution by the Taliban. We kick off discussing what she is hearing from her friends in Kabul as people attempt to flee the Taliban's retribution. We then have a very heavy conversation about the tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan.    Â
