Welcome back to the podcast my people. Episode 47 is here, and this one’s a powerful conversation around identity, culture, and using your voice.

Today we’re joined by Dashni Morad, a Kurdish music artist and women’s rights activist. In this episode we talk about her journey in music, the influence of Kurdish culture in her work, and how art and storytelling can create awareness and spark important conversations.

Dashni also talks about how she creates her music, her creative process, and what her method is like when writing and producing songs.

We also get into Kurdistan, Rojava, Rojhelat, Kurdish identity, and the importance of keeping culture, language and history alive. We discuss women’s rights, cultural expectations, and why speaking openly about these topics matters now more than ever.

A big thank you as well to Dashni for allowing us to use her music video for the intro and outro of this episode. The song is called “I Will Never Give Up.”

You can watch the music video here:
