The Outspoken is back. This is where I give you the opportunity to talk about the things that are important to you. I give you my platform so that you can get your voice heard!

This first episode is a really important one. My dear friend, who needs to stay anonymous for the sake of her family, is chatting about the truly terrible things that her fellow Kurds are experiencing right now in Syria.

The media are not giving enough attention to these atrocities and we're hoping that by speaking about it here, someone will hear about it and help spread her message further.

I'm truly heartbroken for these brave people and for my friend who only just help it together.
