Episode 6: What Is Madina Doing?
Welcome to Episode 6 of WHAT AM I DOING? with Donnie Berry🍓
We’re back! Surprise!
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the deep convos continue…
This week, I’m joined by Afghan-American clinical social worker, cultural critic, and founder of Burqas and Beer, Madina Wardak (IG: @burqasandbeer).
This episode is honest, grounded, and full of nuance. Madina and I talk about what it means to speak out in a polarized world, how she approaches advocacy with empathy, and what she sees people struggling with most in her work as a therapist. We get into collective grief, emotional boundaries, and the emotional toll of holding space while navigating identity and truth.
It’s a beautiful, layered conversation about humanity, activism, and using your voice—even when it’s hard.

Whether you’re feeling fired up, burned out, or somewhere in between, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, grounded, and a little less alone.
