Welcome back to the podcast, my people!

Today I’m joined by Heela Yoon, founder of the Afghan Youth Ambassadors for Peace Organization (AYAPO) — a grassroots NGO empowering Afghan youth through education, peacebuilding, gender equality, and leadership training.

AYAPO operates in Nangarhar, Laghman, and Kabul, working with tribal and religious leaders to champion girls’ education and support community-led peace initiatives.

She’s now building Muska — a mental health app aiming to provide therapy access to those who need it most.
