Fatima Haidari joins the show this week to talk about the rich history and culture of Afghanistan, her home country, and to share why she became a tour guide despite facing intense pressure not to do so — from society, as well as from her own family.

Fatima’s compassion and courage shine through as she describes her dedication to tour guiding, as well as the threats to her life that she faced when she left Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover last year.

It's rare that an interview stops me in my tracks, but this one certainly did. I hope that you'll take some time to hear Fatima's story. 

As always, thank you so much for listening!
