🎙️ Sister Sister | A series of the Teaching Peace podcast by Brooklyn Peace Center

In this powerful episode, Zipporah sits down with Sudanese writer, feminist, and activist Reem Abbas for an unflinching conversation on Sudan’s history of resistance and the movement for justice amid ongoing conflict. From smuggling banned books to organizing women-led movements, Reem shares how everyday acts—from cultural salons to cups of tea—can become powerful forms of resistance.

Together, they explore the roots of Sudan’s war, the lasting wounds of impunity, and the revolutionary role of Sudanese women who dare to lead, speak, and rebuild a nation. Reem also reflects on motherhood, exile, solidarity, and what it means to walk the long road to feminist peace.

đź’ˇ Topics include:

  • The roots of Sudan's current conflict

  • Feminist resistance under dictatorship

  • How culture, community, and sisterhood sustain hope

  • Practical ways to support peace and justice in Sudan

📍 Guest: Reem Abbas – Sudanese journalist, feminist peacebuilder, and author of Undoing Resistance.
