Afghan Wedding Knife Dance ft. Hosnah Safi

AwJiz Boys chat with Hosnah Safi, an Afghan-American model, violinist, and advocate for Afghan culture and mental health. Hosnah shares insights into Afghan traditions, including the exciting Afghan Wedding Knife Dance—where the bride’s closest friend or relative dances with a knife, and the groom must pay to "buy" the knife for the cake cutting. The playful negotiation is a highlight of Afghan weddings, and Hosnah walks us through its cultural significance and fun nuances. Throughout the episode, Hosnah also opens up about her personal experiences growing up as a tomboy in a traditional Afghan household, and her creative journey as a self-taught violinist who blends Afghan music with modern styles​. We discuss her views on therapy, mental health in the Afghan community, and how creativity and therapy intersect in her life​. + made jokes.
