Episode Description

Today on The Resilient Show, Aziz discusses his harrowing journey to save his family from the Taliban’s resurgence, a journey that became part of the largest civilian evacuation in U.S. history. Aziz reflects on the dire situation in Afghanistan, where women and girls face severe oppression under Taliban rule, and how the international community has largely abandoned them. Now living in the U.S., Aziz talks about the freedoms he cherishes that many Americans might take for granted.
